Manchester United youngster Teden Mengi has revealed the texts he received from club legend Rio Ferdinand.

Mengi is a centre-back and is already being tipped for the very top, despite still being a teenager.

The talented Red Devils youth player is now on loan at Derby County, where he is being managed by another United legend in Wayne Rooney.

"He's really inspirational for me because obviously you know what he's done at United, in the same position as me," Mengi told YouTube channel UMM about Ferdinand.

"He helps me to this day.

"He always texts me to see how I'm doing."
