#4 Timothy Fosu-Mensah

Crystal Palace v Manchester City - Premier League
Fosu-Mensah kept Leroy Sane quiet the entire game in their tie against Manchester City

Fosu-Mensah was brought to the club from Ajax by Louis van Gaal when he was in charge of Manchester United. Since then he has gone from strength to strength and was on the verge of breaking into the first team when Jose Mourinho took over.

The immense competition for places limited his playing time and hence Mourinho decided to loan him to Premier League side Crystal Palace until the end of this season. He has been performing really well and his stellar performance against Manchester City was appreciated by all.

Mourinho needs someone as back up to Antonio Valencia next season as the Ecuadorian will turn 33 this year and cannot feature in all the games. Mourinho will surely be considering him for the backup role instead of looking at the transfer market for next season.
