"You don't run the game as a first performance for a 19-year-old. "But he got the crowd going, and has shown one or two glimpses of what he can do, he has in training anyway
And the game wasn't won, it was 2-0 and was still go out there and perform. It's not like it was 4-0 and it's just a party, so he did well defensively as well and I think he'll remember this for a long, long time
" Chong was also interviewed at full-time and told MUTV: "It was a special moment and I couldn't have enjoyed it more than I did
" When asked what Solskjaer said to him before coming on, Chong responded: "He said enjoy it, get on the ball, try and get a few touches and enjoy the game
"It was a proud moment. I've worked hard to get there. My family have helped me so it's a proud moment
" Solskjaer made many changes for the FA Cup clash and revealed this made it difficult for his side
"It was always going to be difficult with my team selection," Solskjaer added. "I made it hard for the players, to be fair
Because it's a team that's never played together, Matteo played out of position as well but I thought he was excellent
"Reading made it really difficult for us. We never had a kick the first five minutes
They just kept possession and we weren't cohesive enough in the pressing, that happens when you don't have a team that plays together as much and we didn't have time to work too much on it
"The pleasing thing is we're through and another clean sheet, 2-0 flatters us a bit because I think they played some great stuff, but then again we could have had three or four towards the end
The second goal was excellent with Alexis [Sanchez] getting Romelu [Lukaku] in, so individual quality managed to get us through, to be fair
"
