Three masked men reportedly broke into Chong's home while he was asleep at 3am on January 16. A knife was then held to his throat while robbers demanded that he hand over expensive items including jewellery, watches and bags.
The 22-year-old was supposedly mocked for his poor security as he became the fifth United or Manchester City star to fall victim to a home raid in an area south of the City since Christmas.
Chong has been hailed as one of United's brightest young sparks since he was signed from Dutch side Feyenoord as a teenager in 2016. Having made 16 total appearances for the Red Devils, including 12 in a single season back in 2019/20, the winger was sent out on a third consecutive loan spell this campaign with Birmingham City.
The stint was disrupted for a few months when Chong was sent back up north to United for rehabilitation following surgery on a groin injury. All in all, he has notched once in 18 appearances in the West Midlands with the Blues now relatively comfortable in lower-mid table.
