The latest Tyler Dibling transfer news indicates that the Southampton wonderkid is being pursued by Premier League giants Manchester United. 

Dibling, 18, has made a superb start to life in England’s elite. Now, reports suggest the Red Devils are keeping tabs on the highly-rated midfielder.

Saints newest starlet caught the attention of United sporting director Dan Ashworth, who is understood to be a big fan of Dibling’s talents.

On gameweek 4, Ashworth and manager Erik ten Hag got to see Dibling strut his stuff in the flesh. Despite being on the receiving end of a 3-0 defeat, the academy product impressed and often got the better of Diogo Dalot.

Furthermore, Russell Martin’s prodigy won a first-half penalty which teammate Cameron Archer spurned. Nonetheless, Dibling had certainly left a positive impression on Ashworth.

If the Tyler Dibling transfer news of interest from Manchester United is true, what will he bring to Old Trafford? Southampton certainly hold him in high regard.

Born in Exeter in 2006, Dibling has been on the books with the Saints since 2012. He also spent a year with the Grecians but returned to the south coast.

In October 2021, Dibling signed his first professional contract and hasn’t looked back since. In a Premier League 2 games against Newcastle in April 2022, Dibling netted a near-identical hat-trick.

Dibling has all the attributes and skills which can potentially see him make the very top. Something of which will excite Red Devils supporters.

The attack-minded midfielder has featured in every league game for Russell Martin’s side this season. As well as both Carabao Cup ties.

Against Ipswich Town on gameweek 5, Dibling made his second start and scored his very first professional goal. Undoubtedly, the youngster has a long way to go to reach his full potential but United will be waiting in the wings.

Dibling is expected to keep his place in the starting XI for the trip to Bournemouth on September 30. The best football betting sites in the UK price the Cherries as 4/6 match favourites.
