We’d just Levitt if Dylan came back to United

DUNDEE United are in talks with Manchester United as they bid to bring Dylan Levitt back to Tannadice next season.

United sporting director Tony Asghar has confirmed that a dialogue is ongoing with the Red Devils regarding their interest in the gifted playmaker.

“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.
