Manchester United fans will be happy to see one of their most promising young players commit his future to the club.

Timothy Fosu-Mensah has signed a new contract that will keep him at Old Trafford for the next four years, with the option of a further 12 months, ahead of United's game against Fenerbahce.
Jose Mourinho's side take on the Turkish club at Old Trafford on Thursday, and the 18-year-old Dutch defender could be in-line for a start at right-back.
Fosu-Mensah signed from Ajax two years ago, broke into the first-team under Louis van Gaal last season, and has made 12 appearances so far.

"I am pleased that he has signed a new contract and I am delighted at the progress he has made so far. It is clear to see that he is learning every day in training and there will be plenty of opportunities for him as the season continues."
