Timothy Fosu-Mensah is widely regarded as one of the biggest prospects to emerge from the Manchester United academy in recent years.With Jose Mourinho failing to sign a centre-back this summer, the decision to loan out the youngster again was met with surprise from many people.Fosu-Mensah, who can play at full-back, central defence or defensive midfield, played 24 times for Crystal Palace last term and helped them to an 11th-placed finish.The 20-year-old will spend the 2018-19 campaign at newly promoted Fulham and retained his place in their starting XI for Sunday's visit of Burnley.In what was an eventful, high-scoring affair, football fans who watched Fosu-Mensah's display are saying the same thing about him.

Fosu-Mensah's performance v Burnley

The Man United loanee played the full 90 minutes in the 3-1 loss to Tottenham and did the same again, but this time Fulham recorded a vital win.

The Cottagers beat Burnley 4-2 to pick up their first points of the season, and it's safe to say that fans of all clubs were impressed by Fosu-Mensah.

What Man United are saying about Fosu-Mensah

Firstly, we have Man Utd supporters, and they are salivating at seeing the young Dutchman being able to run freely and express himself going forward.

Fosu-Mensah was pretty solid defensively, recorded an 82% passing accuracy rate, and with Fulham dominating possession, played more as a wing-back than right-back.

What about the rest of football fans?

During the win over Burnley, Fulham supporters were actually thanking United for loaning Fosu-Mensah out to them and were seriously surprised by how quick he is.

Some are even already saying he is better than Ryan Fredericks, who swapped Craven Cottage for West Ham this summer after starring in their promotion campaign.

Check out some of the best tweets from Fulham fans, and the overall feeling towards Fosu-Mensah, below:

His performance was aided by the fact he was playing on the same side of the pitch as the brilliant Jean-Michael Seri and Andre Schurrle, who both scored.

Fosu-Mensah's long-term future

Since making his Man United debut in a 3-2 home win over Arsenal in February 2016, Fosu-Mensah has made 21 appearances for his parent club.

The defender, who's already represented the Netherlands at senior level, will be hoping for a strong year ahead and to help Fulham avoid relegation.

As we've seen with Andreas Pereira, who took a similar route, in the early weeks of this season, that could be key to him becoming a Man Utd first-team regular.
