Rio Ferdinand has told Jude Bellingham to join Manchester United and make Old Trafford his new ‘home’.
The Borussia Dortmund teenager is attracting interest from several clubs in Europe, including Liverpool, and Jurgen Klopp is believed to have made the dynamic midfielder his main transfer target.
However, the former United defender wants his former club to win the race for the 19-year-old’s signature, saying the England international can “help take the club to the heights it should be.”
“Jude Bellingham has been a phenomenon at the World Cup,” the former United player told his Vibe with Five YouTube channel (via Daily Express).
“He’s had a lot of growth, he can still improve, but he absolutely influenced the England games in a way we’ve never seen a teenager do for England. Manchester United, bring it here. Make that your home, Jude.

“You come in and help change the culture and take the club to the heights it should be at! You’ve been flying the flag abroad, you’ve done your part in Germany, it’s time to come home baby.”
No matter who Bellingham decides to join (assuming he leaves the Bundesliga side at the end of the season), he will instantly improve any side with the work rate and quality he delivers in the middle of the park.
At such a tender age, the former Birmingham City star is also showing extreme maturity and all the traits of a leader – he has captained Edin Terzic’s side on numerous occasions this term and has stepped up and delivered when his team most I needed it.
The youngster also performed superbly for England at the World Cup in Qatar recently and we’d love to see him move to Anfield, even if it may cost us upwards of €100m.
Sofyan Amrabat and Enzo Fernandez are some of the other names being linked with a move to Merseyside, but it is Bellingham that most Kopites want to see in the famous red jersey.
