Abstract: One shows that, if $(U_{n})_{n\ge0}$ is the sequence of Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind, then the product of any two distinct elements of the set $$ \Bigl\{U_{m},U_{m+2r},U_{m+4r};\,4\cdot U_{m+r}\cdot U_{m+3r}\Bigr\}, m,r\in\N, $$ increased by $U_{a}^{2}\cdot U_{b}^{2}$, for suitable positive integers $a$ and $b$, is a perfect square.
This generalizes a result obtained by José Morgado in [4].
