Dan Ashworth Makes Big Call On Southampton Man

According to reports, Manchester United’s transfer chief Dan Ashworth has long admired teenage talent Dibling, having closely monitored his progress over the years.

Currently on Southampton’s books since 2022, the youngster is increasingly making a name for himself in the Saints’ senior setup.

England Under-19 midfielder Dibling has already gained valuable experience for Southampton this season, with:

• 1 start and 3 substitute appearances in the Premier League
• 2 assists in 1 start and 1 substitute appearance in the Carabao Cup
• 1 FA Cup appearance

Despite Southampton’s struggles, currently sitting second-from-bottom in the Premier League table with four consecutive losses, Dibling’s potential has caught the attention of Manchester United. The Red Devils are pushing for a top-four finish and UEFA Champions League qualification.

18-year-old Dibling has emerged as one of the Premier League’s brightest young talents, impressing with his performances for Southampton despite the team’s struggles. However, the Saints’ resolve to retain their starlet will be tested, particularly with Manchester United circling.

United’s interest in Dibling is longstanding, dating back to Dan Ashworth’s tenure at Newcastle United. The Red Devils’ transfer chief has continued to monitor the teenager’s progress, posing a significant threat to Southampton’s hopes of keeping him.

The Saints’ recent 3-0 defeat to United only highlighted Dibling’s value, and with Ashworth’s admiration for the youngster well-documented, a potential transfer battle looms.”
