He is the son of Ghanaian-born former Manchester United striker Daniel Mensah. He played for Preston North End and Sunderland on loan during his first two seasons in the Premier League. He made his England debut in March 2011 in a 1–1 friendly draw against Ghana. He scored his first senior international goal on 2 June 2012 in a friendly victory over Belgium. He also played in the 2008 FIFA Club World Cup final at Wembley Stadium. He suffered from Osgood–Schlatter disease as a child, but was not handicapped despite suffering from pneumonia. He signed his first trainee contract in July 2007, and started the 2007–08 season in the under-18 team. In January 2008, he was called up to the first team for the trip to Saudi Arabia to play Al-Hilal in Sami Al-Jaber’s testimonial match. The following month he signed a new contract, keeping him at Manchester United until 2013. He joined the first-team squad partway through the 2007-08 season, and made his competitive debut for the Manchester United first team on 23 September 2008, starting up front in a 3–1 home win against Middlesbrough in the League Cup Third Round.
