Mengi ready for Man Utd first team after Solskjaer praise

Manchester United defender Teden Mengi is ready to take his chance in the first team after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer piled praise on the centre-back.

The 18-year-old was promoted to the senior team during lockdown and made his debut off the bench in the Europa League clash against LASK in August before travelling with the squad to Germany for the knockout tournament to end the competition.

United are in the market for a centre-back before the transfer window closes next month and regardless of whether or not Solskjaer manages to strengthen in that position, he is looking to give Mengi a chance.
