Manchester United fans make same Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Liverpool FC joke during Man City clash

Manchester United fans have thanked Timothy Fosu-Mensah for his contribution in helping to prevent Liverpool from winning the Premier League.

The United defender is on loan at relegation strugglers Fulham who face title chasing Man City on Saturday, with the Blues needing a victory to once again overtake Liverpool at the top of the table.

No one was expecting anything less than a City victory against the leakiest defence in the league and it was no surprise when they took the lead after just five minutes at Craven Cottage, thanks in large part to Fosu-Mensah.

The Dutchman gave the ball away in his own half, a lethal mistake against a ruthless City.

Sergio Aguero carried the ball and laid it off to Bernardo Silva, who dribbled past a couple of half-hearted tackles before bending the ball past Sergio Rico and into the bottom corner.

Man Utd squad vs Watford revealed as Anthony Martial, Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford return  

As a result United fans have been celebrating on social media that one of their players has helped to the cause in preventing Liverpool from winning their first ever Premier League title. Even if it means City will win the league.

You can see a collection of their tweets below:

What a prediction

Anyone at all

Reporting for duty

No translation needed

We all have to try

Well deserved

What a guy

Into the history books

Who does?
