Manchester United consider terminating Dylan Levitt loan transfer

Manchester United are considering terminating Dylan Levitt’s loan spell with Charlton Athletic in the January transfer window.

The Welsh international agreed to join the League One side on a season-long loan in the summer, but has struggled to establish himself at his new club.

Levitt, 20, has not featured in the last 11 league matches for Charlton with two of his five starts coming in cup competitions.

MEN Sport understands United specifically chose to include a re-call option in Levitt's loan move in order to review his situation with the club in the January window.

Levitt had hoped regular football at Charlton would boost his chances of making Ryan Giggs' Wales squad for the European Championship next summer, but his place in now in doubt.

When asked if the United midfielder's stay could be cut short, Addicks manager Lee Bowyer said: “It has been tough for him because he has Ben Watson in front of him. Ben is an experienced player who has done well for us.

“We will speak to Manchester United and see where they are with it as well. We’ll have to revisit this with Manchester United.”

If brought back to the club United would then review whether to risk sending Levitt out to another EFL club for the remainder of the season, or whether to revive his confidence with a starring role for their U23 side.

The 20-year-old continues to attract interest from a number of Dutch clubs having received similar loan proposals in the summer window.
