  • Former Manchester United player Teden Mengi forgot his dressing room on his Old Trafford return
  • Mengi returned with his new side, Luton Town, after moving in the summer to Kenilworth Road
  • Victor Lindelof scored the only goal of the game in the November 11 Premier League contest

Teden Mengi produced a cheeky moment on his first-ever return to Old Trafford after leaving Manchester United in the summer.

Mengi joined newcomers Luton Town on August 31, bringing to an end his 14-year stay with his boyhood club.

According to the club's website, the defender made two senior appearances for the Red Devils. The first one came in a Europa League clash against LASK Linz in 2020 before featuring against Young Boys in the Champions League a year later.

The 21-year-old made his first return to Old Trafford on November 11 when the Hatters made the trip to Manchester to face Erik ten Hag's side.

What Teden Mengi did in the dressing room

In a video shared on Manchester United's TikTok page, Mengi forgot he was supposed to enter the visitors' dressing room and instead went straight for the home side, as if he was still a Manchester United player.

@ItsPollster said:

"It’s in his DNA. Always a red"

@LukeWydinho said:

"Played very well, too; glad he left to get some game time."

Mengi made his debut for Luton on September 26 and has been a regular for Rob Edwards' side since. They lost the game at Old Trafford by a solitary goal to condemn them to their 8th loss of the season. They are currently in 18th place on the Premier League table.

Mateo Kovacic 'celebrates' Chelsea's goal

Sports Brief also reported that Mateo Kovacic was caught in the moment after Cole Palmer equalised for Chelsea to make it 4-4 in the additional minutes of the second half.

Pep Guardiola’s men took a late lead through Spanish midfielder Rodri, but in added time, Ruben Dias fouled Armando Broja and conceded a penalty, which Palmer converted.

As seen in a video shared on social media, Kovacic, a former Chelsea player, initially celebrated before probably realising he had switched teams and walking away from the scene before anyone noticed.
