Sports World News of Friday, 19 August 2016Source: goal.com'Mourinho must play Fosu-mensah' - Andrew ParkerTimothy Fosu-MensahFormer Manchester United defender Paul Andrew Parker wants Jose Mourinho to hand Dutch youngster and Ghana target Timothy Fosu-Mensah a place in the Red Devils’ starting XI this season. Parker claims Fosu-Mensah, who was not part of United's squad that defeated Bournemouth 3-1 on opening day, is a better option than Antonio Valencia. The thing that goes against Fosu-Mensah is that he's young and Mourinho doesn't like young players. He can't defend and by that, I don't mean he can't tackle but he doesn't sense danger and his positional sense is poor. “I was told by Sir Alex that Neville had to play because he was worried that if he didn't play him he'd start to lose his confidence.
