Manchester United ace Dylan Levitt wins Dundee United award as transfer admission made

Manchester United youngster Dylan Levitt has been crowned the Dundee United Fans' Player of the Year following a successful loan stint in Scotland.

The midfielder, who will be aiming to help Wales reach their first World Cup finals since 1958 when they face either Scotland or Ukraine in their play-off final next month, joined the Scottish Premiership club on loan for the duration of the season last August, in pursuit of first-team football.

Levitt has proven to be a regular fixture for the Tannadice club this season, racking up 30 appearances in all competitions. He has also chipped in with six goals and grabbed one assist.

His performances have not gone unnoticed either, with the Dundee United's supporters voting him as their Player of the Year. He has been a livewire all season for Tam Courts' side and has scored three goals in his last five Scottish Premiership appearances, including a goal in a 1-1 draw with champions Celtic last week.

Recently, Tangerines boss Courts admitted that he would like to keep hold of the youngster. He is out-of-contract at Old Trafford this summer.

"You can see why the Dundee United fans rate Dylan," Courts said. "You only have to look at the big moments he has in a United shirt.

"The stats tell you when Dylan is in the team you have a higher chance of performing well and winning. He seems really content and at home at the club and he is stepping up at a crucial stage in the season.

"That is something Tony Asghar [Dundee United sporting director] is seeing as a priority. I wouldn't say there have been regular discussions but there have certainly been discussions happening.

"We would want to keep Dylan if it was possible and to build a team around him. Hopefully, that is something we can make a reality but at the same token you realise the potential he has.

"He is in a privileged position where he will have a good number of clubs wanting to sign him this summer. He also values what he has got with us highly and we bring out all the qualities he has in the way we want to play football."
