Timothy Fosu-Mensah enjoying the challenge at Crystal Palace | OneFootball

Despite being locked into a relegation battle, Manchester United loanee Timothy Fosu-Mensah is revelling in his stunning progress with the Eagles.

In an interview with MUTV, Fosu-Mensah displayed his optimism looking ahead.

“I think I’ve got opportunities to play at Palace, and even from José Mourinho as he gave me the chance to develop and express myself here at Crystal Palace. Yeah, it’s going well for me but I have to keep going.

“Every week, you have to perform. It’s a battle, a big battle, and we try to stay positive. It’s good for me to be involved in this situation. I’ve learned more about the games in the Premier League and how tough it can be, mostly. I have enjoyed it here.”

“As I say, I still have a lot to learn. I have to develop myself so I have to keep improving.”

At just 20, Fosu-Mensah has two caps for the Netherlands and earned a call-up for Ronald Koeman’s inaugural squad. He did not feature in England’s 1-0 win over the Dutch.

The defender is under contract with Manchester United until 2020, with the option to extend a further year.
