Southampton Boss Russell Martin Dismisses £21M Man Utd Bid for Tyler Dibling
Russell Martin has shrugged off reports suggesting Manchester United are preparing a £21 million bid for Southampton teenager Tyler Dibling, laughing at the valuation while expressing optimism about the young star’s future with the Saints.
Man Utd Show Interest in Dibling
Manchester United, under new manager Ruben Amorim, are reportedly eyeing midfield reinforcements and see 18-year-old Dibling as a promising addition for the future. However, Martin was quick to downplay the rumored bid, joking: “I’m not sure you’ll get his left foot for that."
Dibling Shines Despite Saints' Struggles
Dibling has been a rare bright spot for Southampton in a challenging return to the Premier League, featuring in all but one of their matches this season. His performances have attracted attention from top-flight clubs, but Southampton remain determined to secure his long-term commitment.
Martin addressed the ongoing contract talks, stating:
“We’ve offered him a really good contract for someone his age. At the moment, I don’t think his agent agrees, so that’s where we’re at. Tyler wants it done, and his parents want it done. We have the option to extend, but we’d prefer to reward him for his performances.”
What’s Next for Dibling?
With Southampton managing just one league win this season, Dibling will likely feature prominently in their next game as the Saints host Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. While his future remains the subject of speculation, Martin's comments suggest Southampton are eager to retain their rising star.
