Jose Mourinho is taking a hands-on approach to Timothy Fosu-Mensah’s loan and has already been messaging the youngster.
The 19-year-old has been sent out to Crystal Palace for the season, with his Manchester United boss offering words of encouragement after their shock defeat by Huddersfield Town.
Rui Faria has also been contacting Fosu-Mensah, with the United backroom team making sure lines of communication remain open while he is at Selhurst Park.
‘He's been texting but sometimes he rings,’ Fosu-Mensah said.
