In the same outlet, Brown says Southampton would be forced to sell Dibling next summer if they fail to maintain their top-flight status. Therefore, it is a big boost for United to sign the striker as it would be a miracle if the Saint Mary's team manages to avoid relegation from the current situation.
brown said:
“When you go down, and let's assume for the sake of this argument that you do, you have to cut a lot of costs and sometimes that means losing your best players. So whether they want to sell it (Dibling) or not, it may be out of their hands and they will be forced to sell. “I think that will be the scenario if Southampton goes down.”
It has been reported that Man Utd could sign Dibling for a fee of around 21 million pounds but the price is likely to rise if the player, who is still under contract until 2027, continues to perform at his best for the rest of this season.
Dibling is a left-footed and right-footed striker and would be a perfect option to play in one of the ten positions in Ruben Amorim's 3-4-2-1 system if he moved to Old Trafford next year.
