On-loan Derby defender Teden Mengi has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury and is returning to Manchester United.

The 18-year-old centre-back made his first-team debut against LASK in the Europa League last season and recently signed a new deal until at least 2024.

But Rams boss Wayne Rooney has confirmed that the teenager has returned to Old Trafford after sustaining a season-ending issue.

The hamstring complaint is not considered serious and will be treated at his parent club.

United’s all-time top scorer Rooney has made no secret of his interest in bringing the teenager back to Derby on loan next season.
