Dundee United have signed midfielder Dylan Levitt on a season-long loan from Manchester United.

The Tannadice club has also concluded a deal for Ilmari Niskanen and say they are "working through the work permit process" for the Finland winger.

Niskanen, 23, arrives from Ingolstadt 04 in the German Bundisliga 2.

Levitt, 20, has nine caps for Wales and was included in the Euro 2020 squad, appearing as a late substitute in a group-stage defeat to Italy.

He has made one Europa League start for Manchester United.

"Dylan is a versatile midfielder who enjoys controlling games and producing assists for attacking players," said Tannadice head coach Thomas Courts.

"He's a young player with ambitions to play at the top level.

"I believe that he's capable of playing with all of our existing midfielders, but he brings something different, which will give us better options and more flexibility for the season ahead."

Niskanen has six caps and Courts reckons the Finn is "perfectly suited to the Scottish game".

He said: "Ilmari is an attacking player with international pedigree who I'm sure will excite our fans and produce big moments due to his pace and technical quality."
