I'm personally very patient with youth players look at my namesake for christ's sake, but I'm willing to bet good money that Fosu-Mensah isn't good enough for Utd. He lacks the technical fundamentals and has always made up for it through pure physically. His positional play is average and he doesn't really have a set position. We are Man Utd we can't afford to continue giving game time to mediocre talents.
He looked very calm and comfortable on the ball yesterday. I wasn´t that impressed with him the few minutes he played at the end of last season, but yesterday he actually looked like a player. One friendly match is not much to go by, but I thought he were one of the top performers yesterday, together with McTominay, VDB and Shaw.
 
Starting today.

That's a huge surprise. Wan Bissaka is on the bench.

Big statement of faith by Ole. Any ideas why? I've seen TFM a few times and I've never really got the hype. There must be a player in there somewhere.
 
Surely must be punishment to AWB for breaking the rules and going to the Emirates, TFM shouldn't be starting at all.
 
Even he can’t believe his luck.
 
He'll have his hands full with Zaha you'd think. I hope he applies himself well and gets some help from James when he needs it.
 
I still don’t think he will make it. Would love to be proved wrong. He can’t complain that he’s not been given the opportunity.

Big game for him today, I would be delighted if he takes it.
 
starting because AWB returned late to training because he was quarantined apparently.
 
He’s always looked fairy solid to me, I don’t see the problem. Might struggle with Zaha though.
 
Manchester United 1 : 3 Crystal Palace
Thought he was quite good today, one of the few to come out of the game with any sort of pride intact.
 
Probably should have moved him inside to cb to deal with the pace.
 
Was solid. The fact that I'm saying that just shows how poor we were because it's not like he was good. Was one of our better players though.
 
He s still a bit rusty , but improving all the time. He ll gets better, people often forget how long he was out injured.
 
He offered something different to AWB, he cuts inside and makes himself available for passes and tries to run between the line. It was refreshing to see, and he dragged the ball across the goal a few times but no one was there to meet them.
 
I thought he was fine today as well. put in a great cross that Mason should have scored.
 
He put in a few good balls. Our positioning around the box is horrendous though.
 
Defensively awful but he was better in possession today. Should have an assist with greenwood missing the header.
 
He was one if our better players. Should have had an assist for the a good cross that should have been buried.
 
One good cross all game, positioned himself poorly, if that's a good performance I'm the King of England.
 
I'm sorry but I'm really not convinced with him at all. I can't see him as even a valuable squad option in such position long term.
 
One of our better players, specially in the second half. But that’s not saying much, since everyone was very poor. Still, did good for a backup or 2nd backup.
 
Whenever I see this guy at fullback, I ask myself whether it's some sort of long running joke that I'm not aware of. Lad gives it his best, but he's quite clearly a centre back. Really odd that everyone just assumes he's a fullback.

He is versatile enough to play across the back line and did not look any different than Williams usually does today. His natural position is CB but I'm not sure if he can ever reach a level to play consistently in the PL, at full back he can get away with a bit more when he's out of position.
 
Far from United´s worst player today. Delivered some decent balls into the box and should have had an assist on Greenwood´s header.
 
I’d look to sell. Might be able to get £5 mill for him and I don’t think he’s ever going to have the quality to be a Man Utd player. He’s physically as great as always but technically leaves a lot to be desired. I’m also surprised people think he played well yesterday, he can’t pass forwards which is usually the requisite for a good performance in my book.
Have you watched us at all over the last season? None of our back 6 are particularly good at this. Maguire and Lindelof are atrocious with the ball.

Tfm is better than your analysis
 
It's September 2020 and our best defender in our first game of the season was Timothy Fosu Mensah...
 
As many have said not bad but our right side is so poor, just not in the game at all when our midfield drifts left. I think TFM is a good squad player and at this point might get some time at CB this season.
