Dundee United’s Manchester United loanee Dylan Levitt says former Scotland captain Darren Fletcher helped sell him on a season-long loan move to the Scottish Premiership.

The Manchester United talent explained: “Darren Fletcher spoke to me a few times before I came up and he said, ‘Go and show what you can do, it’s a good league, the quality is very good and it is very physical and try to do well’. He’s very supportive. I was with them (Manchester United) in pre-season for a month and he was always on to me.
“He was always wanting the best out of me, day-in, day-out in training. He was always helping me if I was struggling, always by my side in training really. If I needed anything I asked him and he was always there. It is always good to get out on loan to get game time, to try to improve yourself as a player.
“Hopefully I can show what I can do here and show the players and staff what I am capable of. United just wanted me to go out and express myself and obviously they will assess me when I go back but they just want me to do my best.”
