An 18-year-old English midfielder has reportedly caught the eye of Manchester United with his performances in the Premier League this season.
Southampton’s Tyler Dibling has been one of the few bright notes in what has so far been a miserable campaign for the Saints following their promotion to the top flight.
The club sit bottom of the Premier League with just five points from 14 games but Dibling has still managed to impress.
The midfielder, who has been likened to Man City’s Jack Grealish, has started regularly and featured in all but one of Southampton’s Premier League games.
He has a goal and two assists in 15 appearances in all competitions this term and is now being watched by United and Aston Vila, according to The Sun.
The report claims both teams have sent scouts to watch his last three games and that he’s also on the radar of clubs in Germany and Italy.

Any move to sign the player would likely take place in the summer with Southampton unwilling to sell faced with a relegation battle.
Dibling recently drew praise from Match of the Day pundit Danny Murphy, who labelled him ‘instrumental’ to Southampton.
He said: ‘It is the quality he has got – the belief in himself and the physical power. He just goes past people with ease. He has got a lovely left foot. He is very brave on the ball and his decision-making is good.
‘It is difficult to get too over the top with these young players, because he has just come on to the scene, but he is going to be something special.
‘It is great for him getting all these minutes at Southampton. They are giving him the freedom to play and giving him time to learn the game.
‘He is just enjoying himself and he is playing with a real belief in himself. He is just instrumental in this team.’
