Manchester United are keeping tabs on Southampton youngster Tyler Dibling. The player has been a revelation this season, scoring his first goal for the senior team in the 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town.
United’s new sporting director Dan Ashworth has been following the player ever since he was with Southampton’s academy. And now, the chances of a move are slowly rising as he continues to impress with the first team.

WHO THE HELL IS THIS KID?? WOW!!
With how we're moving with youngsters, our scouts will probably be looking at him keenly 👀🔥pic.twitter.com/jakbrBp0Oi
The 18-year-old has been with the Southampton academy since 2012. However, he had a brief spell with Chelsea before returning and signing a scholarship deal in 2021. Last year in February, he signed his first professional contract which was later extended till 2026.
Now, it remains to be seen if United will go forth with a bid for the right-winger given the abundance of talent they already have in wide positions. Newcastle United are also interested in signing the Saints’ talented youngster.
However, he will not come for cheap, especially given the way young players are priced in the current market.
