Fosu-Mensah Is Going Nowhere -Agent Confirms

Manchester United star Timothy Fosu-Mensah is going nowhere – according to his agent – amid reports Jose Mourinho wants to get rid of the youngster.

The 18-year-old, who can operate in both defence and midfield, made ten appearances during his breakthrough season for the Red Devils in the 2016/17 campaign.

However, doubts were raised over Fosu-Mensah’s Old Trafford future following speculation new manager Mourinho was ready to axe him – but these have now been put to bed.

‘All those rumors in media are from nowhere,’ Jonathan Barnet told Voetbal International.

‘Timothy Fosu-Mensah stays at Manchester United.’

The Netherlands Under-19 international is already a fan favourite after just one term with United and many supporters are predicting the youngster has a major role to play under Mourinho this season.

Manchester United make bid for £19m Brazilian striker

MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly made a bid for Palmeiras’ striker Gabriel Jesus Gabriel, who starred for Brazil at last year’s Under-20 World Cup, scored 37 goals in 22 matches for Palmeiras’ youth team last term.

And according to Brazilian newspaper O Estado de Sao Paulo, United have made a bid to snap up the youngster.

The 19-year-old has a release clause of £23.5million, but the Red Devils are one of five clubs who get a discount on the forward due to another clause in his contract.

United, along with Barcelona, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich can all apparently sign the teenager for £19m.

Gabriel, who has also been linked with a move to Arsenal, is expected to play for Brazil in the Olympics, and his agent, Cristiano Simoes, wants to wait and negotiate any deal for the striker after the tournament to get a bigger transfer fee.

He said: “Until then [the Olympics], it’s certain that he will stay. After that, we believe there will come good and concrete bids.

“Gabriel is calm and isn’t interested in these subjects, but he knows that many people want to take him and he’s now the main player who Palmeiras can make profit with.”

Van Gaal Reveals A Player He is Really Missing

Louis van Gaal has singled out Luke Shaw as Manchester United’s biggest loss during their injury-hit Premier League season.

 

Furthermore, the Dutchman also added that he’s more attack-minded than current left-back Marcos Rojo.

United have suffered greatly at the hands of injury all over the pitch this season, but most notably in defence, with the Dutchman being forced to pick a number of makeshift combinations at the back.

However, Van Gaal has singled out the absence of England left-back Shaw as particularly crucial, due to his replacement’s inability to provide the same attacking threat.

Van Gaal is quoted by the Manchester Evening News as saying: “When everybody was fit, I tell it again, I have said it before. We were first in the league at that time. Then when we had 14 injuries, or the double injuries on the full back positions, I could not solve that problem.

“Schweinsteiger and Shaw are the only ones who are injured now. Schweinsteiger, I have three midfielders in that position with Schweinsteiger, Carrick and Schneiderlin.

“Shaw, it’s still a problem, is more attacking as a full back than Marcos Rojo,” he concluded.
