Exclusively speaking to Youth Academies​
Fosu-Mensah: "I came [to Manchester United] when I was 16, at the beginning it was difficult because I did not know anyone here and my brothers and mother were still in Holland. My teammates who I started with made me feel very comfortable in the u18's such as Marcus Rashford. To play for Manchester United is every players dream I think, you feel very proud."

Youth Academies asked "Has it helped you develop as a player playing with top players?" Fosu-Mensah replied: "Yes definitely to train with players like Wayne Rooney even if they are not your position, it helps you develop and you learn a lot from them,"
​
Fosu-Mensah spoke about the Manchester United fans and the coaches: "The fans of Manchester United are amazing, they always stick by the side of the players. The coaches are very good here, all the coaches I have had; Paul, Nicky and Warren were very good for me, they helped me develop my style of play such as fast football and to get forward as well as creating chances. I do a lot of work with Gary to get faster and stronger. The English game is much faster and much more physical."
Taylor Moore back in 2017 when he was at RC Lens
Exclusively speaking to Youth Academies​
Taylor Moore: "I started kicking a ball as soon as I could walk, my family love football and my father especially. I moved to France when I was 7 years old. I started playing for West Ham and was devastated to have to give that up but on the other side I was excited to discover a new country and a new school.
I started playing for a local club called AS Etaples and at the age of 11, RC Lens which is a well known club in North of France got in contact with my club asking me to go on a trial"
