Fosu-Mensah out for Capital gains
UNITED youngster Timothy FosuMensah completed a deadline day loan move to Fulham.
The Netherlands international will spend the season at Craven Cottage after Jose Mourinho deemed him surplus to requirements at Old Trafford.
Fosu-Mensah impressed at Crystal Palace last term and now has the chance to further his progression with another London club.
The 20-year-old featured in five of United’s six pre-season fixtures and during the tour of the US said he was keen to prove himself at United.
“Last year, I was at Crystal Palace, I think I improved there and I’ve come back a better player,” Fosu-Mensah said last month.
“I came back to show that I’ve improved and to show that I’m a better player now. I’ll keep working hard and see what happens.
“I can play right-back, right wingback, centre-back, in midfield. For me, it’s possible.
“I’ve played centre-back and right wing-back [on the tour] so for me it’s not a problem.”
However, even with United failing to land a centre-back on deadline day, Mourinho has allowed Fosu-Mensah to leave the club.
The United academy product could go straight into Fulham’s squad for their Premier League opener at home to Crystal Palace tomorrow.
