T. Fosu-Mensah awaits a new contract

The football news portal Goal.com reported that Manchester United is set to sign a new long-term contract with defender Timothy Fosu-Mensah this week.

Negotiations have been ongoing for the past few months, and now a agreement has finally been reached. Only a few details remain to be finalized.

Reports about the new contract for the eighteen-year-old emerged back in August, but discussions at that time had not yet reached a final stage.

Fosu-Mensah broke into the first team of the "Red Devils" last season, and the new team manager Jose Mourinho also sees him in his plans.
