Manchester United defender Timothy Fosu-Mensah relishing 'extra special' Europa League final against former club Ajax

Manchester United defender Timothy Fosu-Mensah admits it will be an 'extra special' occasion for him on Wednesday when the club take on his former side Ajax in the Europa League final.

The 19-year-old, who was born in Amsterdam, left Ajax's academy to join United in 2014.

He is hoping to play a part in the game at the Friends Arena in Stockholm having returned to Jose Mourinho's team, following a shoulder injury, in the 2-0 Premier League win over Crystal Palace on Sunday.
