Manchester United are ready for the first signing on Ruben Amorim’s watch. There are strong signals about the “new” Man United, when this costs the club less than £10 million. This season, United scouts have also been benched in the stands when another teenager has been on the pitch, but here United will have to dig significantly deeper to secure one of England’s greatest winger talents.
The new strategy is to bring in teenagers with the right potential, preferably with English passports, who have shown themselves at the highest level, and then build the players themselves up to stardom. Tyler Dibling is definitely one of those players. The 18-year-old has already been on the pitch in 16 games for Southampton this season – and impressed greatly.
In recent months, Manchester United have been heavily linked with a signing of the super talent in the summer, but the Southampton boss can promise that United cannot make a shameful bid and think they are running away with Southampton’s greatest talent.
-I was told a few rumours about Man Utd, one of which was a bid of £21 million. I don’t think you’ll get his left foot for that!”, Saints boss Russel Martin begins according to Footballtransfers.
But also adds that it will be challenging to keep the 18-year-old.
-We have offered him a contract, a very good contract for someone his age. At the moment, I don’t think his agent agrees, so that’s where we are,” says Martin.
There is hope for Manchester United, but then the Red Devils will have to shell out £50+ million.
