Dylan Levitt joins Istra 1961 on loan from Manchester United

Wales international Dylan Levitt has joined Croatian side NK Istra 1961 on loan for the rest of the season from Manchester United.

The 20-year-old had been on loan at League One side Charlton Athletic for the first half of the season yet made only five appearances during his time at The Valley, leading to him being recalled.

He since has played for the Manchester United Under-23s side where he has played alongside January summer signing Amad Diallo.

Levitt made his Manchester United debut in the Europa League when the club faced Astana last season.

He now joins the Croatian first division club in hope of first team opportunities as he looks to secure his place in the Wales 23-man squad for Euro 2021 this summer.

He made his Wales debut back in September as he started for his country in a one-nil victory over Finland in the Nations League and has since gone on to make a further four caps for Wales.

The Wales international could make his debut for Istra 1961 on Wednesday when they face HNK Sibenik in the Croatian Cup round-of-16.

The Bodelwyddan-born midfielder will be looking to help rejuvenate Istra 1961 who currently find themselves stuck in a relegation battle at the bottom of the Croatian first division.
