JAKARTA - Manchester United will increase their interest in Southampton midfielder Tyler Dibling if they secure Champions League qualifiers by winning the Europa League this season.
Dibling, 19 years old, has emerged as one of the most wanted young players in the Premier League this season.
However, he is playing alongside The Saints who are on the way beyond Derby County's record with 11 points to become the statistically worst team in the league since the Premier League began in 1992/1993.
The England Under-21 international has made rapid progress in St Mary's since being awarded his first professional contract by Manchester United Technical Director Jason waste, during his tenure as Director of Southampton Football in 2022.

Sources say that the 100 million pound mark from Southampton is an unlikely assessment, especially with their relegation to the already confirmed Championship (second level league).
However, Manchester United's interest hinges on clubs improving their financial situation by qualifying for the Champions League through the Europa League.
Meanwhile, Manchester United will face Athletic Club in the semifinals next month after a dramatic 7-6 aggregate win in the quarter-final against Lyon on Friday, April 18, 2025.
ESPN reported earlier this month that the Red Devils will prioritize recruiting mid-summer strikers with Ipswich striker Liam Delap, as their main target.
Manchester United also want to strengthen their midfield options in the summer regardless of whether they qualify for the Champions League.
However, ESPN sources say that important targets in attacks and midfield will be a priority over Dibling's move if Manchester United fail to qualify for next season's European tournament.
With Champions League qualifiers worth at least 80 million pounds for Manchester United, the club's ability to compete in the transfer market will significantly increase if they win the Europa League on May 21, 2025.
