Lots of rumours going round this morning that Mourinho is considering selling Timothy Fosu-Mensah.

I must admit I'd be very surprised if that was the case, but if it was, that's a player I think we should go all out (within reason, obviously!) to get.

Still only 18, a ridiculous athlete in every way, good technique, two footed and genuinely capable of playing in multiple positions

I think this kid's a star of the future

Please let his be true.

We could buy him for £1 million and sell him back for £200million in four seasons.....

Although to be fair I don't think we would sell him back.

Probably just a loan.

They seem to loan players out well past when the club deems them not needed.

Why is he selling him, anybody know?

Mourinho is no fool, something must of made this kid toxic.

Think he will get loaned out by all accounts, along with a few others who did ok last year when pitched in such as Borthwick-Jackson. Typical Mourinho though it sounds like, I wouldn't be incredibly surprised if in January even Rashford was available!

He wouldn't be the first talented kid Mourinho has turned his nose up at. He likes his players to have a hefty price tag.

He's a young player, Mourinho seems incapable of giving youth a chance unless they have a huge pricetag on them.

Exactly.

Mourinho would have to develop him to get the finished article, and Mourinho hasn't developed a player since he was at Porto (and possibly not even then).

Cheque-book manager.

I'll be floored if Fosu-Mensah and Rashford are at Utd come the end of this window, actually. Maureen will find a high priced striker he likes then boom, Rashford will be off.

I'm partly hoping Mourinho pisses away their money and their youth players.

I'm absolutely hoping for and anticipating this happening. ;)

Fosu-Mensah did look good, so if Jose is selling, I'd be happy for us to buy.

Think you've read this one wrong mate. All the gossip is he's going out on loan.
