Louis Saha has urged Manchester United to make a move for Dortmund and England star Jude Bellingham.
As reported in The Independent, Saha called Bellingham the “perfect” sing-along for Erik ten Hag’s side.
Speaking to Paddy Power, Saha said he would love to see the midfielder move from Signal Iduna Park to Old Trafford.
“I would love to see Jude Bellingham at Manchester United, not only as a fan, but also because he would be a perfect fit in midfield.” he said.
The former United striker went on to say that he feels Bellingham would be the perfect long-term partner for Bruno Fernandes, with Casemiro holding the fort behind them in what would be a star-studded midfield.
“Manchester United would be an incredibly difficult team to defend if they had Jude Bellingham and Bruno Fernandes together in midfield, with Casemiro sitting behind them as cover for the defenders.” he said.
Saha feels that United have lacked energy in matches and believes that Bellingham would raise those levels with his explosive power, which the team needs if they are to return to the level of European football.
“For quite a few years Manchester United have been a team that have lacked energy and match fitness, which is not normal if you are trying to get back on top, so that is something Jude Bellingham could bring to the table. in if he came to United ”. Saha said.
Despite England’s elimination at the quarter-final stage, Bellingham enjoyed a fantastic World Cup, enhancing his reputation as one of Europe’s best young talents.
The Englishman has also been in great form at home for Dortmund, excelling in the Bundesliga and producing a string of top-flight performances in the Champions League this season.
Bellingham is believed to have been close to signing for United before moving to Germany, with the club showing the player around the Carrington training complex before he opted to move abroad.
There are a number of top clubs, including Liverpool and Real Madrid, ready to back the 19-year-old, who is expected to leave Dortmund next summer.
Although United need to improve in other areas, they would be almost remiss to turn down the chance to sign someone who has been described as a generational talent and, as previously reported, the club remain keen on signing the £100m young star. sterling.
