United defender signs new deal

 

Manchester United defender Timothy Fosu-Mensah has agreed a new deal at the club, according to ESPN.

 

Fosu-Mensah, 18, has been in talks over a new deal for several weeks after breaking into the United first-team under Louis van Gaal last season.

 

There were fears the versatile teenage defender would not develop at United this season following Jose Mourinho’s appointment but he remains highly rated by the Portuguese manager.

 

 

The Netherlands youth international is United’s second highest rated player in the Europa League this season (7.22) after featuring in their 1-0 win over Ukrainian side Zorya last time out.
