Derby County boss Wayne Rooney admits he'd like to re-sign Manchester United defender Teden Mengi.

Mengi is expected to leave on loan this summer but yesterday he featured for United against Derby.

"Teden did excellent for us last season," Rooney said. "I think he was getting better but unfortunately he got injured towards the end.

"At the minute from Teden's point of view there is nothing I can do, I still can't bring loan players in.

"I think he knows, and Manchester United know, he is a player I like. My hands are tied behind my back at the minute."
