Dundee United are in talks with Manchester United about trying to get Dylan Levitt back to Tannadice. The Welsh international midfielder was a revelation last season while on loan from Old Trafford and voted by Arabs as their Player of the Year.
Levitt returned to Manchester and the Premier League giants immediately triggered a new 12-month contract. The 21-year-old, who is set to play for Wales at the World Cup in Qatar, looks likely to be farmed out again. And Dundee United sporting director Tony Asghar insists new gaffer Jack Ross is keen to get Levitt back.
He’s revealed that discussions have taken place with Manchester United about a return to Tayside for the new Premiership campaign. Asghar said: “We really liked Dylan last year, we’re still interested and talks are ongoing. He’s just got another year with Manchester United and he’s got a World Cup to aim for, to try and get into the Wales squad.
“Dylan is a player who fits into our system. He is well liked by all of the players and loved by the fans. So yes, we are still trying to see if we can do something there. Jack likes the player. When you bring a new manager in, you have to run the list of targets past him.
“With Jack, I think we know we are on the right track with targets. When you see Levitt and the influence he had, especially in the second half of the season, he is a player we would like at Dundee United.
“But right now, he is a Manchester United player. We are speaking to them and they know our feelings. Dylan is a player we would like to have but it’s going to take United and ourselves to come to an agreement.”
