Timothy Fosu-Mensah completes £1.8m move from Man United to Bayer Leverkusen

Timothy Fosu-Mensah has completed his £1.8million move from Manchester United to Bayer Leverkusen.

The 23-year-old defender leaves Old Trafford having made 30 first-team appearances over the past six-and-a-half season – but just three this season.

His time with United also included loan spells at Crystal Palace in 2017-18 and Fulham the following season as successive managers failed to be impressed enough to give him a regular spot.

Fosu-Mensah has now agreed a contract until 2024 with the Bundesliga club, who are currently third in the table and hopeful of challenging Bayern Munich for the title.  

A source close to Fosu-Mensah has told the Manchester Evening News that the 23-year-old is sad to be leaving United but is ‘excited to get a fresh start and show people what he is really capable of.’
