Crystal Palace fullback Timothy Fosu-Mensah: I want Man Utd future

Crystal Palace fullback Timothy Fosu-Mensah admits his future will depend on Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho.

The youngster shone in victory over Burnley on Saturday.

Fosu-Mensah, who is on a season-long loan, said: “I've ­spoken to Jose this season.

“He's positive, it's good to have contact with him and he said I have to keep going so that's what I'm ­trying to do.

“I want to go back to Old ­Trafford and push for a place next season. But my focus now is on Crystal Palace.

“It's good for a manager to have a player who can play more ­positions. I can play centre-back, I can play right-back, I can play defensive midfield.

“Everything is good. I just came here to play. Playing regularly makes me stronger.

“You have to play to develop so I'm happy that I'm playing."

He added: “The change under Roy Hodgson? It is ­concentration, aggression, ­energy, shape. He is doing a great job but every week we have to perform."
