Evans Timothy Fosu Fosu-Mensah (born 2 January 1998) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder, centre-back or full-back for English club Crystal Palace, on loan from Manchester United.

Club career

Born in Amsterdam to Ghanaian parents, Fosu-Mensah began his career with Ajax, before moving to England in 2014. Fosu-Mensah has played for Manchester United's youth teams in a variety of positions, including centre-back, right-back and central midfield. He made his professional debut at left-back on 28 February 2016, in a 3–2 Premier League win at home to Arsenal, coming on as a 55th-minute substitute for Marcos Rojo.[3]

On 19 October 2016, he signed a new long-term contract with Manchester United until 2020, with the option to extend for a further year.[4]

On 10 August 2017, he joined Crystal Palace on a season-long loan, reuniting with his former boss at Ajax, Frank de Boer.[5]

International career

Having played at under-15, under-16, under-17 and under-19 level for the Netherlands, Fosu-Mensah was rewarded for his performances for Manchester United with his first call-up to the senior team for friendlies against the Republic of Ireland, Poland and Austria. He is also eligible to play for Ghana as he qualifies through his parents.

Personal life

Fosu-Mensah is the brother of fellow footballer Alfons Fosu-Mensah.[6]
