Manchester United have been keeping a close eye on Southampton’s teenage talent, Tyler Dibling, whose future at St Mary’s is now uncertain following the club’s relegation from the Premier League.
The Saints’ 3-1 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur sealed their fate, confirming their drop into the Championship and putting Dibling’s future firmly in the spotlight.
With Southampton set to lose their top-flight status, the club is looking to balance its books by selling off prized assets, with Tyler Dibling at the forefront of their sellable players.
Initially, the 18-year-old was valued at a hefty £100 million, as the club looked to generate funds to reinvest in their squad ahead of a push for promotion next season.
However, with the club’s relegation now confirmed, the asking price has dropped to around £60 million, a figure that has sent ripples through the footballing world, including at Manchester United, as reported by Chronicle Live.
The Red Devils have been linked with the midfielder for some time, and recent developments have reignited their interest in securing his services.
United’s pursuit of young talent has been one of their key strategies in recent transfer windows, with Dibling’s impressive performances for Southampton’s youth team and occasional first-team appearances catching the eye of several top clubs.

Despite United’s struggles in the Premier League this season, their focus on building for the future has seen them target promising players like Dibling, who has shown flashes of brilliance during his brief appearances in the top flight.
The player’s versatility in midfield and his potential for growth have made him an attractive prospect for the club, who are looking to add more youthful energy to their squad under manager Ruben Amorim.
While Southampton’s relegation is a blow for the club, it has created an opportunity for United to pounce on the talented youngster at a reduced price.
However, United will not have it all their own way, as other Premier League clubs are also said to be monitoring the situation.
With Dibling’s future still up in the air, it remains to be seen whether Manchester United will make a move this summer to secure the services of the highly-rated teenager.
