Manchester United's newest wonderkid? Teenage defender Teden Mengi promoted to senior squad by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ahead of the season restarting

Teden Mengi is the latest Manchester United youth star to be promoted to the first team.

At just 18, the centre-back is yet to make his senior debut but did sit on the bench for United's 2-1 defeat by Astana in the Europa League in 2019.

The young starlet was pictured at training with the first team on Monday, having caught the eye of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ahead of the Premier League return.

Having captained United's U18s to the FA Cup Youth Cup semi-finals and featuring regularly for an older age group in the U23s, Mengi is expected to become a breakthrough star, following the likes of Brandon Williams and Mason Greenwood.
