Man Utd management eager to see Timothy Fosu-Mensah in action

Manchester United youth coach Paul McGuinness is keen to see new signing Timothy Fosu-Mensah in action.

The Dutch teenager was signed from Ajax before the September transfer deadline and is awaiting international clearance.

"A lot of clubs have got foreign imports from all over the place [in their academies] and while we would like to get one or two more imports ourselves, we have started with the signing of Timothy from Ajax," McGuinness told ManUtd.com.

"We would like more recruits but, while we haven't got them, the advantage is we do have a very tight-knit group who have been here a long time, some since the age of seven or eight. The team spirit is fantastic.

"Timothy is still waiting for international clearance but he looks a really mature and talented player. He covers the ground well and I think he can make a big impact at our level. He can play in a number of positions - centre-back, midfield or full-back, so I think he's another good, adaptable and highly-talented player."
