Manchester United have finally confirmed on their official website that Timothy Fosu-Mensah has joined Crystal Palace on loan.
The 19-year-old is described as "highly regarded at Old Trafford" on the club's official website.
Palace boss Frank de Boer said: "Timothy is a player who has great pace and incredible physical ability. In today's game you need players with strength and speed and is a player who can also play in midfield.
"I am seeing him in our system as a right centre back but he can also play full back in a 4-3-3."
The player added: "The manager spoke to me about coming down to join Crystal Palace and it was clear that he wanted me to be part of his squad which as a player gives you a great feeling straight away.
"I must now repay that back by putting in some good performances for the club.
"I am only 19 years old and still have a lot to learn and therefore getting the opportunity to play more games on a regular basis will help my development."
