Wales coach Giggs explains calling up Man Utd kid Levitt

Wales coach Ryan Giggs is happy to include Manchester United midfielder Dylan Levitt in his latest squad.

Levitt, who joined United at the age of eight, could now make his international debut in Wales' Euro 2020 qualifiers against Croatia on 8 June and Hungary three days later.

“I know more about Dylan because he is at United," Giggs told reporters. “I have spoken to Butty about him a few times, seen him a few times live on TV and in person.

“He is similar to [Manchester City and Wales player] Matty Smith – he wants to get the ball down, wants to pass and get in different positions.

“He impressed me last week and that is why he is in the squad."
