BIRMINGHAM have confirmed the capture of highly rated Manchester united defender Teden Mengi on loan for the remainder of the season.
The Red Devils academy product will link up with friend Tahith Chong, who has played 13 times for the Championship outfit.
Mengi – who has experience playing European football – can help shore up Birmingham's leaky defence.
The Blues are currently sat 18th in the second tier and lost their last outing 2-1 to QPR.
And they have conceded 11 goals in their last five games.
On the move to Lee Bowyer's side, Mengi told BluesTV: "Everything I have spoken about with him [Bowyer] has been really encouraging.
"He believes in me and I believe in what he is saying to me, so I am glad that he has trusted me enough to bring me here, and I am ready to work as hard as I can for him.
"I am delighted to be here.
