Levitt, meanwhile, who bagged six goals for United from midfield last season, is set to return to Manchester United.
The arrival of new manager Erik Ten Haag could see the out of contract Welsh internationalist given the chance to win a new deal.
But Courier Sport understands a return to Tannadice next season remains a possibility, with United working hard behind the scenes to ensure they are in pole position for his signature.
Lewis Neilson, Finn Robson and Flynn Duffy are also locked in discussions with the Tangerines over extending their respective stays.
Tony Asghar tribute
United sporting director Tony Asghar said: “We’d like to place on record our gratitude to all players who are moving on.
“They have all played a part in the continuing success of the club in their own unique way both this season and in previous years.
“I believe Dundee United will also have left a positive impression on all these players too. They will always be welcomed back at Tannadice as we wish them all the best in their future careers elsewhere.
“I am continuing discussions with several players to prolong their stay at Tannadice and we hope to provide a further update on those negotiations soon.”
