He's got the same type of build as Lukaku, he'll probably become a first team squad member next season.
Omitted from the U21 match in which Januzaj, Riley, Pereira, McNair and Love are all involved.
He might actually start against Watford, not too sure on the Rojo situation but there's a very good chance he'll be involved at least from the bench.

McNair must be worried about the future, when we'd prefer to play two centre mids at the back rather than him. And the sudden sh!tload of young fullbacks who keep him miles down the pecking order there too.
What position is he? I thought he was a midfielder but I'm guessing I was wrong?
Can play all along the back and as a defensive midfielder.
Primarily a centre back, but been played a lot in midfield since joining us.
I'd love it if he developed into a brick hard water carrier DM like Deschamps or makele.
One of my favourite type of players and essential if you want to to a top top European club side.

We'd probably end up losing him to a European rival if that happens!
From the little I have seen, he reminds me a bit of Essien. (And not just in appearance)
I have a big feeling about Fosu Mensah, I think he will be the biggest star from our youth system since Pogba.

I don't mind selling him for £70m either!
I have that feeling too. More confident about him than even Rashford. I've heard lots of good things about him already
Yep. Literally translation is "Let's go". But can also mean as "get in!". Are you Ghanaian by any chance?
That body type combined with Schneiderlins in the middle could rule Earth.
Dont really vare where he plays to be honest, just want to see him get some time.

I guess he'll start on Wednesday, which would be wonderful to see.
I love that suddenly many here have big hopes for him. I do too, but we have to be realistic as well. He has to be developed carefully and if I am not mistaken, someone who watched a lot U21 games earlier posted that the likes of RoShaun Williams and Regan Poole have looked better this season (Although TFM mostly plays in the centre ). So still a long way to go for him.
I had a lot of hopes for one Rodrigo Possebon too (if anyone remembers him). Look how that turned out.

Definitely not suddenly. Everybody who has followed the academy knows about him. Others can correct me but I would say he is the youngster with the highest potential.I love that suddenly many here have big hopes for him. I do too, but we have to be realistic as well.

I know there are obviously quite a few that have watched him closely and honestly I have no problem if people come on here to shower praise on him, but it did seem like a sudden outburst of comments over him. He had a good debut, not the best though and we were lucky his bad pass wasn't punished.
Williams has been very impressive for the under 21s, particularly because he's still eligible for the under 18s again next year but Poole has only played 3/4 games and has done well but hasn't been particularly brilliant in any of them. Fosu Mensah has been excellent for the under 21s in most matches he's played this season in a variety of positions playing rb,lb,cb,dm and am. If I had to pick one player from the under 18s/21s that I think has a long term future at United it would be Fosu Mensah because he has so many different facets to his game that no matter what position he's been played in he adapts and excels in it. Obviously for such a young player he still has a lot to work on such as concentration and positioning but all of the raw materials are there.I love that suddenly many here have big hopes for him.

Yeah honestly, I haven't actually seen how Williams and Poole have performed to be have an idea of how to gauge them. But I did regularly read comments on here which suggested they were doing very well, in some games better than TFM. As for Fosu-Mensah, yeah even I have very high hopes for him. Him and Rashford were my two favourites for quite a while now. And yeah, he has been very good wherever he has played. But eventually, I'd like him to settle at CB, with maybe the ability the bring the ball out from the back like how Blind does for us. Even CDM is fine, but I don't think his passing (especially long range) has been good enough for that. But those are things you can develop. As you said, he has all the Raw Materials to excel really.
I don't think they look anything alike but I was going to say this also. Seems like a fitting description of his talents- a more defensive Essien. Would be great if he could become that sort of player.
He'll be a perfect box to box midfielder à la Yaya Toure
Rodrigo wasn't the same after that injury though. We all have disappointments. I rated Rossi and Pogba lolI love that suddenly many here have big hopes for him.

Would be great to see him from the start vs Watford. Even if it's out of position.
how could Poole look better before TFM's debut against Arsenal? He played one game as DM and one game as CB for us, you can tell he was decent as 17 year old but judging by two games...? TFM was great almost anywhere he played for usfrom the very beginning he came to us as 16year old, which is a sign of a great player... He's very young and has got great mentality. Possebon was injury prone Brazilian which says it all...I love that suddenly many here have big hopes for him. I do too, but we have to be realistic as well.

I have no doubt TFM will make it here if he stays injury free
I'm really excited by him getting his debut - I think I rate him highest of our academy prospects; though I have not watched too much of them this season. I always imagined him being a ball-playing defender, or a DM, so I was surprised at him starting at left back. Did good at right back, though, so good to see he was able to cope with being played in a more unfamiliar position.
I really do have high hopes for him. Would love it if he makes it with us.

His pace is absolutely frightening, probably the fastest player in our squad.
This is pace he showed in the reserve team right? Faster than Shaw and Valencia in top speed?
That'd probably be Ro'Shaun Williams.
I'll put my money on Wilson.
Which is why I didn't say that. I said I read on the caf, people saying that Poole and RoShaun Williams have looked really good this season. I haven't watched them enough to be honest.
With regards to Possebon, it wasn't exactly frequent injuries tbh. He had a horrific Leg Break playing for the U21s and was never the same after that.
So exciting to see young player like him break into the first team.
Yeah that was so sad. I was gutted for him. Rossi can't be really called a youth product anyways. But after that blistering start with Villareal, injuries curtailed him too. Pogba well, he's just doing it somewhere else.
Agree. He has insane acceleration. But over the long run, I think others can catch up though.

Definitely faster than Valencia, think a bit faster than Shaw as well. Tuanzebe, Williams, TFM are probably the fastest in the club, their speed is insane.
He never actually broke his leg. The tackle from Pogatetz was horrific but Possebon only missed around a month because of it. He never looked the same after the tackle though and looked afraid of getting injured so it seems the damage was psychological more than physical
Really?? That's what you gathered?? Had nothing to do with him being talented enough to play that role with strength and power? That he was put in that role because of an injury??
He can't come into the midfield for now because Mata, Herrera and Schneiderlin are doing well. He's on the bench as a back up defender (a CB) as well as a back up midfielder (a DM). It just so happened that Rojo got injured and we needed someone with height, pace and power.
