Manchester United defender Teden Mengi is being lined up for a return to Derby County.

The Manchester Evening News says Mengi is close to rejoining Derby on loan for a second time.

Mengi, 19, made nine appearances for Wayne Rooney's side after joining for his loan first spell in January to help the Rams stay in the Championship.

Red Devils icon Rooney was obviously impressed enough to want him back for a full season, with the highly-rated centre-back now needing regular game time to continue his development.
