Timothy Fosu-Mensah angered by FIFA 17 after Manchester United star is given a generic image

TIMOTHY Fosu-Mensah may be one of the highest-rated youngsters in FIFA 17.

And the young Manchester United defender also has one of the best potential growth rates in the game.

But he doesn't have a 'face' - and he's not happy about it.

Fosu-Mensah, 18, is one of the newest United players to be included in EA Sports' flagship video game after he made his senior debut in February.

But EA Sports have given him a generic run-of-the-mill face in FIFA 17 and Fosu-Mensah has joked about how he looks on the new version, calling out EA Sports on Twitter and asking them to put things right.

The Fifa account is yet to respond but Fosu-Mensah's notification could pop up with a reply - as Chelsea youngster Michy Batshuayi discovered.

In an amusing exchange with the Fifa account earlier this week, Batshuayi ridiculed his passing rating of 59 as 'weak'.

When Fifa replied with a video of a passing drill, the Belgian replied '*Downloading PES*', referring to Fifa rival Pro Evolution Soccer.

He followed that up with: "Kidding but nine assists last year, not even 60 passing isn't fair bro you can't deny."

Fosu-Mensah, meanwhile, is listed as a central midfielder on the game despite spending all 10 of his United matches in defence. The 18-year-old Dutchman has earned a respectable 71 rating

He’s yet to appear in Jose Mourinho’s team and was an unused substitute in the Europa League defeat to Feyenoord.
