players confusingly sauntered into the home dressing room.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Teden Mengi, who spent 14 years at Manchester United having emerged through their academy, was on auto-pilot when he got off the team coach.<\/p>\n<p>He shook hands with security and then carried on towards the dressing room for Erik ten Hag&#8217;s players.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/13\/10\/77733271-12742877-image-a-44_1699872529649.jpg\" height=\"357\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>A former Manchester United academy star got confused when he made his Old Trafford return<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/13\/10\/77733267-12742877-image-a-45_1699872534592.jpg\" height=\"301\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Teden Mengi walked into the home dressing room, despite now playing for Luton Town<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>It was quickly pointed out to him that he was at Old Trafford as a visiting player these days and was in the wrong changing room, prompting a swift exit in the other direction.<\/p>\n<p>Mengi was able to see the funny side in a clip that was captured by the BBC&#8217;s cameras for Match of the Day 2.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Teden Mengi, a former Manchester United player, forgot that he wasn&#8217;t still at Manchester United!&#8217;
