The Red Devils have had a slow start under new manager Ruben Amorim. They have recorded two wins and one draw but have also faced two consecutive losses. With the winter transfer window approaching, Amorim is expected to receive support through new signings, and United seems to be at the forefront of pursuing Dibling.

The 18-year-old has emerged as one of the most promising talents in the Premier League this season. Despite Southampton struggling near the bottom of the league, Dibling has consistently shone with impressive performances, particularly showcasing his dribbling skills and speed.

He has contributed three goals and averages 1.6 successful dribbles per game. Additionally, Dibling has demonstrated defensive strength with an average of 5.1 duels and 2.6 recoveries per match. His standout performances have made Dibling a key player for Southampton, and it appears that a move to a bigger club is just a matter of time.

United may be his next destination, especially with technical director Jason Wilcox involved, who has a close relationship with Dibling. Wilcox was responsible for securing Dibling's first professional contract when he was the sporting director at Southampton. Another factor that gives United an advantage in this race is that Dibling could serve as a backup for Geovany Quenda of Sporting Lisbon, a target of Coach Amorim for the right-back position. If Amorim considers alternatives, Dibling might be a feasible option.

With growing interest in Dibling, Southampton may demand a high transfer fee for their talent. United could have an edge over Chelsea and Tottenham because of the special relationship between Dibling and Wilcox. Additionally, Dibling might decline Chelsea’s offer after spending just two months at the club’s academy in 2022 before returning to Southampton.
