Luton have signed England youth international Teden Mengi from Manchester United for an undisclosed fee, with boss Rob Edwards saying he’s here to compete the outside centre half role.
The 21-year-old defender has been at Old Trafford since he was six years old, but has left to become Town’s 11th new signing of the summer.
Edwards said: “Teden is someone who we have been aware of for a long time – Richie Kyle’s worked with him at the FA in the England age groups.
“He’s a fantastic age and comes with great experience for a young player. He’s had an amazing education at Manchester United and he will help us in that outside centre-half position.
“He’s a fantastic athlete, he’s aggressive, excellent in one-v-ones and uses the ball well.
“But when we spoke to him, he made it clear how much he really wanted this and to be a success here.
“He’s got an excellent future, and we want his future to be here. There’s no quick pressure on him being the ‘main man’ straight way – but it’s great if he does, but there’s no getting away from the fact he is here to compete.”
