A host of clubs are said to be interested in taking Manchester United<\/a> youngsters Dylan Levitt<\/a> and Teden Mengi <\/a>on loan until the end of the season.<\/p>\n

According to MEN<\/a>, the club has received significant interest from clubs in the Championship and League One for the duo.<\/p>\n

Clubs Interested in Taking Manchester United Youngsters on Loan<\/h2>\n

United’s U23 Youngsters in Demand<\/h3>\n

Young Welsh midfielder, Levitt, was recalled from his loan at Charlton Athletic<\/a> after only making three appearances at the League One side.<\/p>\n

Interest is set to be high with Portsmouth<\/a> and Queens Park Rangers<\/a> leading the race to sign the youngster.<\/p>\n

Eighteen-year-old Mengi is highly rated by the staff at Old Trafford and made his first-team debut in last season\u2019s Europa League game against LASK<\/a>. But a deal to loan out the U23s<\/a> skipper may be more complicated with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer keen to offload both Phil Jones<\/a> and Marcos Rojo<\/a> this month.<\/p>\n

The departure of Timothy Fosu-Mensah<\/a> to Bayer Leverkusen<\/a> could also complicate matters, as Solskjaer would rather opt to retain the services of the defender instead of divulging into the market at this time.<\/p>\n

Fellow academy youngsters in Ethan Galbraith<\/a> and goalkeeper Matej Kovar<\/a> are also attracting interest from clubs in lower leagues. Kovar was also recalled this month from Swindon Town<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lower League Clubs Swoop on United Academy Prospects<\/h3>\n

United already have a host of young prospects out on loan at lower league clubs with central defender Di\u2019Shon Bernard<\/a> extending his loan at Salford City<\/a> until the end of the season. Right-back Ethan Laird<\/a> joined MK Dons<\/a> earlier in the window until the end of the season, while the likes of James Garner,<\/a> Diogo Dalot <\/a>and\u00a0Tahith Chong<\/a> have all moved out on loan in the summer.<\/p>\n

The young Dutch winger is currently on loan at Werder Bremen<\/a>, whilst right-back Dalot<\/a> is in Italy with Serie A leaders AC Milan.<\/a>\u00a0Young England youth international Garner is closer to a home showing his great potential at Watford<\/a> in the Championship; racking up 20 appearances already this season.<\/p>\n
