Manchester United defender, Timothy Fosu-Mensah has come out to say that he played a small part in Donny van de Beek joining the club.
Fosu Mensah recently revealed that his “biggest club” transfer pitch was part of the reasons why the Holland international chose the Red Devils.
According to him, he told VVD that MUFC is a big club, if not the biggest club in the world, and it is always a great opportunity for players to play for the footballing institution.
He added that Donny van de Beek is a very good player with a lot of qualities, and he is definitely a good buy for Ole and the fans.
His words, “I told him United is a big club, if not the biggest club.
“I said it’s good if you have the opportunity to come here. We have got very good team-mates, the quality is very good here.
“I said, ‘It’s up to you because I can’t make the decision for you but it’s a very good club’. At the end of the day it was his decision.”
“He’s a good player, a player with a lot of qualities and I think he’s also a good guy so he’ll bring a lot of positive things to the club.”
“It feels good.”
“It’s special also because we’ve seen each other since we were so small, growing up and then I left when I was 16. He was still at Ajax but we always had good contact with each other.
“When I left for United, I still played for the national youth teams in the Netherlands, the Under-17s, Under-18s, Under-19s, Under-21s, and he was always there. So it’s very special to see him now at Manchester United.”
