Manchester United’s youth academy has added one other feather to its cap in a season filled with positives for it.
This one comes away from Previous Trafford, however will profit United all the identical, in additional than simply an emotional sense.
Ryan Taylor of The Every day Mirror experiences that Bayer Leverkusen are monitoring Luton City’s Teden Mengi.
Taylor says that Leverkusen’s Head of Rising Markets, Matthew Inexperienced was in attendance final week when Luton performed Sheffield United.
Mengi remained an unused sub that day as he recovered from an damage so Inexperienced wouldn’t have been in a position to study a lot.
Inexperienced might attend the sport towards Manchester United, for which supervisor Rob Edwards has already admitted that Mengi is match.
United will face the monster they created who has starred for Luton this season after a transfer that flew beneath the radar in the summertime.
Mengi has already attracted curiosity from different Premier League golf equipment as effectively and the addition of the Bundesliga giants to this race will work in United’s favour.
Not simply because one other participant from the academy is now shining, but in addition as a result of United are set for a doubtlessly big windfall if he strikes.
Mengi’s sale had a sell-on clause the place United can be entitled to a proportion of the switch price if/when the defender strikes from Luton.
It is a follow United have began doing so much these days as they’ve tried cashing in on prospects earlier than successive loans rob them of all worth.
In addition to the emotional and monetary angle, there’s a sporting angle to the sale as effectively if switch dominos fall in United’s favour.
Leverkusen’s defensive pairing of Jonathan Tah and Edmond Tapsoba is being focused by a bunch of golf equipment round Europe, with United being certainly one of them.
If Mengi’s transfer helps United extract a kind of out of Germany then the youth academy must be thanked thrice over for a participant who by no means flourished at United!
