Teden Mengi says he is open to going out on loan in January after recovering from a long-term injury that curtailed his spell at Birmingham last year.
The centre-half was building up great consistency at St Andrew’s after his January switch before a nasty recurring hamstring injury sustained in February flared up again badly in March. Mengi had started nine games before his setback and again succumbed to the problem on his return, forcing him to return to Carrington early.
The 20-year-old had been sidelined ever since until his return to action for United’s Under-21s in October, featuring in a 2-2 draw with Fleetwood in the Papa John’s Trophy ahead of a 7-6 penalty shoot-out loss.
