Manchester United defender targeted by Bundesliga side to replace Chelsea bound youngster

Manchester United defender targeted by Bundesliga side to replace Chelsea bound youngster

Reports in The Mirror suggest that Borussia Monchengladbach have targeted Manchester United defender Timothy Fosu-Mensah as the summer replacement for Andreas Christensen, who is heading back to his parent club Chelsea.
 
The 19-year-old made his Old Trafford bow last season but has managed just seven appearances under new boss Jose Mourinho. The youngster is under contract at United until 2020 but a lack of first-team opportunities have left the Dutchman seeking a new employer next term.
 
The 20-year-old Christensen is coming to the end of his two-year loan stint at Monchengladbach and although the German club would love to take him on a permanent deal Sporting Director Max Eberl has admitted defeat by declaring that; “He must go back to Chelsea FC. Those are the two players [Dahoud and Christensen] that we have to replace in the summer. There are no others. And we don't want any others [to leave us]."
