MAY 6, 2016 LISTEN

Ghana's hopes of capping Manchester United youngster Timothy Fosu-Mensah was dashed on Friday after he was named in a provisional Netherlands squad for three upcoming friendlies.

Head coach Danny Blind has included the 18-year-old, despite him making just seven Premier League appearances in his breakthrough season.

Fosu-Mensah was born in Amsterdam to Ghanaian parents and qualifies to play for the West African country.

He is a product of Ajax's youth academy and has been touted for greatness since debuting for United against Arsenal in February.

Netherlands failed to qualify for Euro 2016 and will kick off a trio of friendly matches in the space of nine days with a trip to Dublin to take on Republic of Ireland on May 27.

Blind's side will also face Poland and Austria, as those two nations, like Ireland, prepare for the Euros.
