Youth career
Tahith signed for Manchester United in July 2016, having been at Feyenoord since the age of 10, it was a move that attracted a lot of media attention. Most comfortable on the left wing, he's more than capable of covering as a striker too. He made an instant impact at the club, winning an award for the best attacking player at the Otten Cup pre-season tournament.
Tahith returned to action after a long-term ACL injury in November 2017 for the Under-18 side and made a goalscoring debut for the Under-23 side in January 2018. His return from injury was completed by going on pre-season tour with the First Team in the summer of 2018. He made his First Team debut in January 2019 against Reading in the FA Cup.
Tahith joined Werder Bremen on loan for the 2020/21 season.
International
Tahith has represented The Netherlands at Under-15, Under-16, Under-17 and Under-19 levels.
