Former Manchester United coach Quinton Fortune believes the club made a mistake by letting four young talents leave Old Trafford.

Fortune, who played for the Red Devils from 1999 to 2006 and won the Premier League title under Sir Alex Ferguson, briefly returned as Under 23s assistant coach in 2019 before moving to Reading.

During his time back at United, he worked with academy players James Garner, Angel Gomes, Teden Mengi and Anthony Elanga. They would all leave without making a significant impact at the top level.

However, Mengi is now playing regularly for Luton, Garner for Everton and Elanga for Nottingham Forest, while Gomes has been impressing in France with Lille.
