In a relatively unimpressive performance from Manchester United, there was at least one bright spot in the shape of a solid performance from one of their youngsters on Thursday night.
Timothy Fosu-Mensah impressed against Zorya in the Europa League while deputising for Antonio Valencia. The youngster put in a solid defensive performance, while also creating a chance going forward.
There has been a bit of excitement around the 18-year-old ever since he made his first-team debut under Louis van Gaal last season, with the Dutchman going on to appear in eight Premier League games.
A number of fans were raving about Fosu-Mensah after last night’s performance, while some want to see him given more chances in the first-team…
And a number of United fans think he has a bright future at the club.
Some have pointed to the fact that Fosu-Mensah may not even be playing in his best position, and is, in fact, the best man to partner Pogba and solve Jose Mourinho’s conundrum in the middle.
