Manchester United midfielder Dylan Levitt is determined to make the most of his loan move to NK Istra 1961.

The five-cap midfielder made as many appearances for Wales as he did for Charlton during the first half of the campaign and hopes joining the side bottom of Croatia's top division can help him make the Euros.

"It came around as I needed to play first-team football, really," Levitt told the PA news agency.

“Obviously the transfer window in some places was still open and I thought here would be a good place for me to come and get some first-team action.

“I think I'm ready to play men's football so it was important that I got out and secured first-team football for the second half of the season.

“That'll put me hopefully in good stead for the Euros coming up in the summer because at the start of the season I set my goal and I wanted to get to the Euros.

“It would mean so much for all of us – my family, obviously myself, my friends, people back home – for me to go."
