However, he hasn&#8217;t yet gained any experience with the Red Devils&#8217; senior team in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>Although he made an appearance in the 2020 Europa League game against LASK, he is still to make his senior Premier League debut. The move to Luton would be advantageous for him as it offers the prospect of getting some game time on the world&#8217;s biggest footballing stage.<\/p>\n<h3>Mengi\u2019s Performance With Loan Clubs<\/h3>\n<p>Mengi wrapped up his first loan spell away from Manchester with Derby County in the latter part of the 2021 season, under the management of Wayne Rooney, during which he made nine appearances for the club.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/08\/30\/manchester-united-nicolas-tagliafico-lyon-loan\/\" target=\"_self\">Manchester United Now Advancing for \u00a375k-P\/W World Cup Winner<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Regrettably, his loan was cut short due to a hamstring injury which prompted his return to Carrington, as he was projected to remain sidelined for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n<p>As the year came to a close, Mengi was in the midst of his recovery and focused on finding another loan opportunity to return to the field. This led him to his second loan spell, where he once again entered the Championship by joining Birmingham City during the January 2022 transfer window.<\/p>\n<p>Despite making a favourable impression on the club during this period, he was limited to just ten appearances due to a recurring hamstring injury.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DEADLINE DAY DESPERATION - What Manchester United and Erik ten Hag Need on Deadline Day\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dRomTX6ce8w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Luton Town Transfers<\/h3>\n<p>Premier League newcomers Luton have made slow but steady progress in the transfer window.
