Dylan Levitt admits Manchester United teammate Jesse Lingard convinced him about a loan move to Dundee United.

The Wales midfielder has moved to Tannadice on a season-long loan.

“The first loan took me out of my comfort zone. Once you have been on one loan, you get used to the experience," Levitt told Dai-Sport.

“Jesse Lingard is quite close to the young players at United. He's been through quite a few loans and he speaks well to the younger players about what it's all about.

“United want me to try and express myself as much as possible, to try and get as much game time as I can and experience different styles of football. Scotland is quite a physical style of football, so it is different.

“United have a very strong squad at the moment, but they recognise that I'm getting called up my country and they keep in touch with me every week. They ask me how life is going."
