Crystal Palace have signed Manchester United defender Timothy Fosu-Mensah on a season-long loan deal.
Fosu-Mensah completed his move on Thursday to become Frank de Boer's third addition of the transfer window after the arrivals of Jairo Riedewald and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
"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," Fosu-Mensah told Palace's website.
"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."
I’m very happy to have signed for . Everyone at the club made me feel very welcome I’m looking forward to it August 10, 2017
Fosu-Mensah made his United debut in February 2016 and has gone on to make 21 appearances across all competitions.
He is under contract with United until 2020 after agreeing a new deal last season, but will now seek to gain further first-team experience with Palace.
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."
As they also confirmed the news, United insisted Fosu-Mensah was "highly regarded" at Old Trafford and wished him well for the upcoming season.
Palace begin their Premier League campaign at home to promoted side Huddersfield Town on Saturday.
