Both Marseille and Hertha Berlin are interested in signing Manchester United defender Timothy Fosu-Mensah in January.
The Dutchman is out of contract at Old Trafford at the end of the season, and although the 22-year-old has been offered a new three-and-a-half-year deal by the Premier League club, he has yet to accept their terms.
That also means that he is free to negotiate with foreign clubs from January 1st.
Fosu-Mensah is concerned about his lack of game time under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka the clear first choice at right-back. And, in the Boxing Day draw at Leicester, he was not even named among the nine substitutes on United’s bench.
He has not made a Premier League squad since October, although he did come on as a substitute in the Champions League games against Istanbul Basaksehir and RB Leipzig.
Born in Amsterdam to Ghanaian parents, Fosu-Mensah began with the Ajax academy before moving to England and United in 2014.
Andy is an exiled English football fan living in Cyprus. He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
