According to reports, Manchester United could rival Liverpool and Manchester City in the transfer race for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham.
The England international is one of the most exciting young players in the world right now, and it seems difficult for Man Utd to compete with Europe’s elite for his signature given their current struggles.
The Red Devils may not even be in the Champions League next season, let alone be a top contender to win the trophy, but it seems Erik ten Hag is keen for his club to join the race for Bellingham, according to the Times.
The report suggests that Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong will be another top target for the club, but it is suggested that Ten Hag was impressed by Bellingham’s performances for England at the World Cup.

The report claims that Ten Hag doesn’t even think we saw the best of Bellingham’s potential in Qatar, so it would be interesting to see how he would have tried to fit it in at United.
The Times claims that Liverpool and City are among the favorites to sign the 19-year-old, and that shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise after his achievements in recent years.
Bellingham could be ideal to give LFC a long-term successor to Jordan Henderson, while City have Ilkay Gundogan nearing the end of his contract so could use a replacement soon.
