Timothy Fosu-Mensah

Audi


The Flying Dutchman more often than not likes to ride shotgun. Here he is during the off season, cruising down the streets of sunny California in his sizzling Audi.

Born on January 2nd, 1998, in Amsterdam, Netherlands, to Ghanian parents, Timmy’s youth career sprung out of Zeeburgia, a local club based in his hometown which is also known as the “royal supplier”of Dutch football. In 2006 he was selected by Ajax’s academy and spent close to a decade at the club developing his skills and talents. In 2014 he took the opportunity to move to England as a part of Manchester United’s youth training. Within the next two years the defender would impress with his array of skills and versatility in adapting to different positions on the pitch. In February 28th, 2016, he was given his debut against bitter rivals Arsenal, coming on as a second half substitute in a match which finished 3-2 in favour of The Red Devils. During his first two seasons with the club the Dutch defender collected an FA Cup and UEFA Europa League winner’s medal, albeit limited opportunities. Before long Timmy found his path to the first-team blocked by seasoned veterans and decided to move to fellow Premier League club Crystal Palace in the summer of 2017 to gain experience playing competitive first-team football on a regular basis. The right back played 21 Premier League games during his tenure with The Eagles as they finished 1 spot shy of a top 10 finish. The defender decided to continue his successful trend with a move to Fulham the following season but it was cut short due to a ligament injury. On July 16th, 2020, after a long recovery period the Dutchman was back in Manchester United’s starting line-up in a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.
