He said, "Harry in particular [has been great to me]. He's really vocal and really specific in what he does and I can always turn to him for help if I'm struggling with anything. I've found that really good. And Brandon has helped me settle through anything throughout my time at the club and he made it really easy for me when I made my step up from U23s to the first team."

Teammate Brandon Williams says he was more than happy to help Mengi settle in and adds that all the Academy graduates support each other.

“Teden has helped himself as well by talking to everybody, the more you communicate the more you get to know somebody," Williams told MUTV. “It's much easier to go into a group and stay in the shadows and just watch everything, but Teden gets involved and that's made it easier for him.

“There's obviously me and Mason and all the other boys who have been here for a very long time and we're a group and a team. Everyone knows what everyone has been through at this club and what it takes to get into the first team and knows what hard work everyone has put in.

“I know what Teden has done throughout the years and the likes of Marcus and Jesse as well. We're trying to keep it going and we're role models for the players who are below us in the younger ages in the Academy and Marcus and Jesse are the younger role models for us who have done it and who we look to."
