Manchester United defender Timothy Fosu-Mensah has joined fellow Premier League side Crystal Palace on a season-long loan deal.

The 19-year-old, who is comfortable of playing in different positions across the defense and midfield, will wear the number 24 shirt for the Eagles.

Fosu-Mensah said after sealing his loan transfer: “The manager spoke to me about coming down to join Crystal Palace and it was clear that he wanted me to be part of his squad which as a player gives you a great feeling straight away. I must now repay that back by putting in some good performances for the club.

“I am only 19 years old and still have a lot to learn and therefore getting the opportunity to play more games on a regular basis will help my development.”

I’m very happy to have signed for @CPFC. Everyone at the club made me feel very welcome I’m looking forward to it #CrystalPalace #TFM24
