Timothy Fosu-Mensah has opened up on his career at Manchester United so far and his goals for the new season under Jose Mourinho .

The 18-year-old was included in the United senior squad for the first time against Arsenal in February, when he made his debut as a second-half substitute.

The Dutchman is highly-rated at Old Trafford and is expected to be a key member of Mourinho's first-team squad this season.

Speaking to Youth Academies , he revealed he hopes to build on last season and admitted playing for The Reds was a 'dream'.

He said: "To play for Manchester United, I think it is every player's dream, I feel very proud to be part of a very great club. The fans of Manchester are truly amazing; they always stick by the side of the players.

"My aim last season was to make my debut for Manchester United and that happened, so I was very pleased with that. I played 10 games and believed I developed well from that and learned a lot from it... So I'm happy how last season went for me.

"This season I have set goals, I want to play the most games and stay fit for the whole season. I also want to keep on developing and to progress into a top player and become a complete player under this very good manager Jose Mourinho."

Fosu-Mensah praised his coaches and his family for their support and said he was learning from United's senior stars.

He added: "I think the English game is much faster and more physical than what I was used to back in Holland.

"Training with players like Wayne Rooney, Michael Carrick and Juan Mata, even if they are not your position, it definitely helps you develop as a player and you learn a lot from them."
