Charlton have completed the signing of Manchester United midfielder Dylan Levitt on loan for the 2020-21 season.

Wales international Levitt becomes the Addicks' third signing of the summer.

The 19-year-old made his United debut against Astana last November in the Europa League and comes highly recommended by United's head of first team development Nicky Butt, a former teammate of Charlton boss Lee Bowyer, who says Levitt is the best passer at Old Trafford.

When asked what about the signing he was most impressed with Bowyer told Charlton's official website: “His passing, he doesn’t give the ball away, as a midfielder that is important.

"He keeps the ball at the right times and he has the vision to open up any defence. I spoke to Nicky Butt at Manchester United, he said ‘he’s the best passer we have at the club’. If Nicky tells me that he can pass then I take his word for it.

“He’s another good addition to the squad, he’s a very good player. He’s got talent and he’s a Wales international. It just makes it more competitive for the players if you’re bringing in international players.”
