MANCHESTER UNITED youngster Dylan Levitt has signed for Charlton on a season long loan.
United legend Ryan Giggs gave Levitt his full Wales debut last week and the midfielder’s impressive performance has caught the eye of the Addicks.

The teenager played the full 90 minutes in his country’s 1-0 win in Finland.
And Ole Gunnar Solskjaer also has faith in the holding midfielder having given him his first team bow against Astana in the Europa League last year.
Charlton boss Lee Bowyer wanted to add energy to his midfield and has managed to secure a deal.
The Addicks had promising West Ham star Josh Cullen on loan last season in midfield but the 24-year-old has returned to the London Stadium.
Levitt’s impressive passing ability from a deep lying midfield role is said to have alerted Giggs to his potential some time ago.
And Giggs was so impressed, he handed him his first senior call up in May 2019 for Wales’ Euro 2020 qualifiers against Croatia and Hungary.
Levitt’s mentality is said to be one his biggest strengths and his international gaffer wants him in his squad for many years to come.
He previously told United’s website: “When Dylan was in the [Euro] squad, we had must-win games so I couldn’t really throw him in and put him in that pressure cooker.
“But, in training, he’s one of the best.
“He’s my kind of player – a good character, quiet but tough, and he’s one that I’ll be taking a big look at over the next year or so.
“I want him to develop and if he does and, if he plays more games, then he’ll definitely be in the reckoning.
“He’s a really intelligent player with a good range of passing and he stands out in training in every session.”
