European giants Holland continue to use Dutch-born Ghanaian defender Timothy Fosu-Mensah while Ghana continues to look on unconcerned.

The ambidextrous 18-year-old lasted the opening 45 minutes for the Jong Oranjes at the Sportpark Zuid in Groesbeek - Serbia, as the Netherlands continued their winning streak in the Euro U19 competition, beating Northern Ireland 1-0.

Mensah was born to Ghanaian parents in the Netherlands and started his career at Dutch side PSV Eindhoven before leaving to join English giants Manchester United. The utility defender has debuted in the Premier League this season against Arsenal.

While the youngster's father has stated the player would solely decide on his international future, the Ghana FA has yet to take any open decision to talk the youngster into playing for Ghana.

Holland continues to use the youngster and would cap him at senior level if Ghana continues to show no interest in the player.

England are also mentioned to be interested in capping the young defender.
