Dundee United reveal they're trying to sign Dylan Levitt from Manchester United

Dundee United want to bring Dylan Levitt back to Tannadice on loan and have held talks with Manchester United over the Wales international. Levitt, 20, spent last season with the Tangerines and impressed over 29 matches in all competitions north of the border.

Having progressed through the United ranks, Levitt has also spent time with Charlton Athletic and Croatian outfit NK Istra before his latest spell in the Scottish Premiership. Moving forward, the 12-cap Wales international will be hoping to feature in the upcoming winter World Cup in Qatar.

United triggered a 12-month extension in his contract upon his return to Old Trafford — a decision that came after Wales booked a place in the World Cup for the first time since 1958. However, there might still be some work for Levitt to do to confirm his seat on the plane.

"Dylan is a player who fits into our system. He is well liked by all of the players and loved by the fans.

"But right now, he is a Manchester United player. We are speaking to them and they know our feelings.
