Career
Having failed to break into the first-team, he was loaned to Carlisle United in January 2014, before making a permanent move back to Belgium with Zulte Waregem in July 2014. Born in Antwerp, Ekangamene began his career with local club Royal Antwerp. He made his debut for the Manchester United reserves on 26 April 2010, coming on for Michael Keane in the 76th minute of a 1–0 defeat to Wigan Athletic.
His only reserve team appearance of the season came in the semi-finals of the Lancashire Senior Cup against Blackpool on 1 May 2012.
The match went to a penalty shoot-out after it finished goalless in normal time, and Ekangamene scored the winning penalty with a delicate chip over the diving goalkeeper to put Manchester United through to the final. In 2012-2013, Ekangamene graduated to the reserves on a full-time basis, and was again a regular in the side, playing 19 times in all competitions.
He also scored his first goal for the reserves on 20 March 2013, getting the opening goal in the 40th minute of a 2–1 defeat to Arsenal. After making 13 appearances in the first half of the 2013-2014 season, on 31 January 2014, Ekangamene and team-mate Sam Byrne were loaned to Carlisle United.
He made his professional debut the next day, starting the game against Bristol City.
Although the loan was due to last until the end of the season, a lack of centre-backs meant Manchester United were forced to recall Ekangamene to play in an unfamiliar position after only a month. After his return, he was ever-present for the under-21s and even scored in their penalty shoot-out defeat by Bolton Wanderers in the quarter-finals of the Lancashire Senior Cup on 17 March 2014. On 11 July 2014, Ekangamene left Manchester United to join Belgian club Zulte Waregem on four-year deal.
