Manchester United are interested in signing Southampton wonderkid Tyler Dibling at some point next year, according to Sunday Mirror.

The Red Devils have been impressed by the progress of the 18-year-old this term. He has been a mainstay in the starting XI from the right wing.

The youngster has caught the eye with his direct running and dribbling skills. He has also excelled with his ability to create big scoring chances.

Dibling has only three goal contributions for the campaign, but reports claim that it may not be long before he pursues a bigger challenge elsewhere.

United have been closely tracking him under the recommendation of technical director Jason Wilcox, who was formerly the director of football at the Saints.

Dibling has also been linked with the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea. United are bound to face a bidding war for his services when they make a formal transfer offer.

The Saints are currently rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table with just five points. They are already eight points adrift of safety after 15 games played.
