Didn’t see the game but sounds like very poor performance against the Dutch. Age a factor and could have been starstruck playing Holland. He’s a talent. He’ll be back.

Needs another season of regular football under his belt, a loan move next season is imperative, he's never getting in that Man Utd team.

Not in matchday squad and won't feature tonight.
Hard to work out why Levitt was so good against Poland, and so wretched against Holland. Latter performance won't have impressed Dutch people watching on TV, e.g.(possibly)new Man Utd manager, Erik ten Hag.
Will DL be called back for the Dutch away fixture in Rotterdam, I wonder?

I think it's just the first few times he's ever played against opposition at that level, so we're bound to see inconsistency. Poland he found his range early and played well, but against the Netherlands they pressed and held their shape quite differently. A lot of his missed passes seemed to be a result of him being in two minds about which option to choose because their defensive shape was good - which in turn made their defenders able to read what he was going to do and intercept |

The Dutch performance went against him. 300’000k seems an absolute bargain. If I was him I would go to Dundee Utd.

To Swansea, with our Joe? Personally I agree with Quetzal. That performance v The Dutch wouldn’t of attracted any new suitors. He did well at Dundee Utd if they want him he should go there and keep building on that. But for 300k I mean surely someone might take the gamble ? But he should take first team football in the SPL |

£300k seems like a bargain for him, although moving to Dundee is somewhat of a risk, as anything other than exceptional performances and he'll be stuck at that level you feel

He's the type of player who could potentially look just as at home in a Man U shirt as he would in a Dundee Utd shirt, without standing out in either. He could very easily just sort of be forgotten about |

I've always been a bit of a critic, but I am very surprised by this transfer. However is this move just a reality check as to how good he really is though? Or maybe he just really enjoyed playing for Dundee and the whole setup?
Can't help but feel he'll be slowly forgotten about now.
You've also got to wonder how much he would have gone for had he been English? £300k seems ridiculous for an 'international' player.
Also joins a long line of Welsh player who've never been given a chance at PL level - a continuing and worrying trend.

Bit harsh. I think it’ll be a good move. Can ply his trade in a place where he’s already worshiped for another year, and where he’s nailed on to play before the World Cup (if he stays clear of injury). I note that there’s comments from fans of every team in Scotland saying what an outstanding signing it is. At 300k and on a 2 year contract, Dundee Utd can make a quick profit on him in a year’s time at a cheap price still. They’re known for developing and selling youth. If he keeps improving there’ll be suitors in England as I imagine he’s classed as home-grown there. The 2-year contract suggests to me that he’s using Dundee Utd as a stepping stone- no doubt the club would have been pushing for a longer deal. His style may be suited to the continent too. He’s already shown that he’s willing to go there as well. He’ll still only be 23 when his contract is up, so will still be a young player and an attractive proposition with greater experience at club and international level at a youthful age. |

Also joins a long line of Welsh player who've never been given a chance at PL level - a continuing and worrying trend. His contract was running out in the summer, but Man U had a one-year option to extend which they activated. He was never going to be given a chance to break into their squad as he hasn't done enough over the last couple of years to merit that. There was no point loaning him out again for the season as they would just be back in the same position without the option to extend, and probably lose him on a free. So they've just decided to get rid and recoup as much as they can. He only has one good season behind him at club level, and a couple of failed loan spells. So I imagine championship clubs thought they had better/safer options to go after e.g. Cardiff were apparently interested, but opted for Sawyers on a free. There is no money in the Scottish prem outside of Celtic and Rangers. I think those circumstances explain the small fee which I doubt is a true valuation of the player. But I still don't like the move at all |

I think going off Dylan's interviews by the sounds of it he's just wanting games under his belt more than anything else. He must've felt out of all the opportunities that presented themselves, Dundee Utd must've been the pick of the bunch to get that.
He could've gone on loan again probably to the Championship but would he have a better chance of starting? Probably not. He's a fan favourite, likely to be a mainstay within their team, opportunity playing in the Conference League if they win the play off match and it's still a decent level which is up for debate but at his age playing as much as possible is key as opposed to warming the bench.

Didn't realise they were in with a shout of Europe? Makes sense for him getting games ahead of the WC for sure, but he needs to have a standout season to get a good move next year |

His best chance of a move is probably to join one of the big two and only then will he make a name for himself outside of Scotland. He impressed in games against Celtic and Rangers last season, if he can continue doing that it could happen

The thing is, he DID have a standout season last year, yet no-one came in for him.
I don't know the actual stats of this, but I can't recall many players moving from the SPL once they're there and onto to big things - Championship, PL etc.
Ryan Hedges had a great couple of seasons with Aberdeen, then went to Blackburn and hardly played. Doidge was also classed as one of the best strikers in the league but never gained interested elsewhere.
I am very surprised he hasn't gone to a Championship club.
It's not a terrible move, because Scotland have a few SPL players in their squad, however I think we can discount Levitt as an actual starter for the foreseeable future for now.

"I don't know the actual stats of this, but I can't recall many players moving from the SPL once they're there and onto to big things - Championship, PL etc." There are certainly numerous examples from Celtic and Rangers. In recent times you've had the likes of Van Dijk and Wanyama moving from Celtic to have very successful careers in the prem. The most recent example from our pov is Ledley, who went to have a decent prem career, and before then Bellamy came back from Celtic in a strong position. There are loads of examples of players moving from SPL clubs to the championship too. McKenna is one that comes to mind - he was brillaint for Nottingham Forest every time I saw him last season - there will be loads of examples like that for random championship clubs that we're not aware of. But I do share your concern. I think because of what his game is about - simple distribution and playing through the lines, it just makes it difficult for him to stand out, and there will always be doubts about whether he can do it at a higher level. That's why the games against Celtic and Rangers will be so important. |

That's why the games against Celtic and Rangers will be so important. In regards to Virgil I can remember Chris Sutton on tv saying Southampton have signed a bargain. How the big teams won’t look at him because it’s Celtic but they’ll end up signing him after a season or two at Southampton for a far bigger price and he was correct. The initial post is very wrong imo. The list of players who have come from SPL in recent times is huge. In addition to the players named what about pukki? Calvin bassey is about to have a huge career. What a player. Marley Watkins was at Inverness then two years later he made his Wales debut and basically had 5 seasons in the championship . I know Wes burns Is league 1 but he was at Aberdeen and he has championship teams sniffing. Aaron Hickey went from hearts to serie A. Greg Docherty last season moved to Hull from Rangers another player moved to Everton from Rangers this season a lad called Patterson. SPL is a gold mine of bargains. Dylan is going for first team football before the World Cup like a smart lad then in a couple of years he will be on the move. Also probably worth pointing out that that a lot of people think Woodburn had a shit season at Hearts last season.... yet he just signed for a championship team so the standard can’t be bad can it ? |

He went straight on from Aberdeen to the Euros semi final ;-)
Our Dylan's season at Dundee may turn out to be similar to Matty Smith's at Twente - stunning performances and an absolute fan's favourite, but very little in terms of club football since then.

Levitt is young enough to stay in the rough and tumble of where he is ,in fact a bit more physical type of football might be the making of him.Didn't do maradona any harm,yeah ok he isn't maradona but a more physical game does make players learn to find space and live with pressure,if the don't get their legs broken  |
