Now the Old Trafford club are growing agitated and may even consider recalling Fosu-Mensah, 19, and finding him a new club.

Fosu-Mensah's season-long loan was confirmed in August, after SunSport told you it would happen.

The Dutch star has made 11 appearances for the Eagles so far this season, but his last came on November 5.

He has made 12 appearances for United since joining from Ajax in 2014 and has two caps for the Holland team.
