United have been in negotiations with Tayside neighbours Arbroath over the transfer of highly rated teenager Andy Webster and with the Red Lichties confirming the 18-year-old's first choice destination is Tannadice, he could become a Tangerine in the near future.
With Hearts and Charlton Athletic both making Arbroath aware of their interest and a string of other clubs on both sides of the border regularly watching the young centre-half, capturing him would be a major success for Manager Alex Smith.
