Fulham move for Man Untd starlet Fosu-Mensah on loan (Mail)

Fulham are trying to sign Manchester United defender Timothy Fosu-Mensah on loan for the upcoming Premier League season.

The 20-year-old went on tour with Jose Mourinho's side in the United States but could be set to gain experience elsewhere.

He also has offers from Hertha Berlin and Benfica but could play at right-back for Fulham after their attempted move for Martin Montoya fall through today.

Fosu-Mensah graduated from the youth set up at United and he made his senior debut at left back in a 3-2 home win against Arsenal in February 2016.

Since then he has made a further 11 appearances for the Red Devils and his current contract takes him to 2020.

However, he spent last season on loan at Crystal Palace playing some 21 times without scoring.

Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic has been involved in a busy transfer period for the newly-promoted club.

There hit list so far includes Jean Michael Seri, Maxime Le Marchand, Fabricio Agosto Ramirez, Aleksandar Mitrovic, Alfie Mawson and Calum Chambers.

Germany international Andre Schurrle has also joined on a two-season loan from Borussia Dortmund.

They make their return to Premier League action this Saturday in front of their home crowd at Craven Cottage against fellow Londoners Crystal Palace.

It will be Fulham's first game in the top flight for four years, against the team they last faced in the Premier League back in May 2014.
