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.
International
Tahith has represented The Netherlands at Under-15, Under-16, Under-17 and Under-19 levels.
