Timothy Fosu-Mensah

The Dutchman, signed from Ajax’s academy at the age of 16 has been in and around the Manchester United first team for around a year. He has all the attributes you would want in a player, good on the ball, fast and strong.

Recently he spoke about learning from Michael Carrick, “Well, not a trick but the understanding of the game that Michael [Carrick] has. I would love to add this to my game”, well anyone would.What;s in his favour is that Jose Mourinho rates the youngster highly.

Able to play as a centerback, a right back or in the defensive midfield position, there are rumours that Jose has been training the youngster to take over the mantle from Carrick.
