Dundee love Levitt as they seek a second loan

- By LIAM WOOD

DUNDEE United want to take Dylan Levitt back to Tannadice on loan and have held talks with United over the Wales internatio­nal.

The 20-year-old spent last season with the Tangerines and impressed over his 29 matches.

Having progressed through the United ranks, Levitt has also spent time with Charlton Athletic and Croatian side NK Istra before his latest spell in the Scottish Premiershi­p.

The 12-cap Wales internatio­nal will be hoping to feature in the upcoming winter World Cup in Qatar.

United triggered a 12-month extension to his contract upon his return to Old Trafford this summer, 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.

Dundee’s sporting director Tony Asghar said: “We’re still interested and talks are ongoing. He’s got another year with Manchester United and 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.

“We are still trying to see if we can do something there. Jack (Ross, the manager) likes the player, but when you bring a manager in, you have to run the list of targets past him.”

Asghar added: “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.”
