Manchester United are now set to enter the race to secure Borussia Dortmund’s prolific 19-year old English midfielder, Jude Bellingham.
Over the past few years, the England National Team player has established himself as one of the most promising young talents in world soccer. He had already attracted attention from giant clubs like Manchester United during his time with Birmingham City, but went on to ultimately sign a deal with German club Borussia Dortmund in 2020.
Jude has been crucial to the Borussia Dortmund side ever since joining the club. He was instrumental in Borussia Dortmund reaching the Champions League quarterfinals in his debut season. He has also featured for England at a youth level, as well as on the national team in the Euro 2020, where England became runner-up. He was also a starter in England’s 2022 World Cup squad.

Sheikh Jassim wants to sign Kylian Mbappe should he take over Manchester United
According to recent rumors, the former prime minister of Qatar, Sheikh Jassim, is planning to take over Manchester United from the Glazers in a stunning ÂŁ5 billion deal. Now, new rumors have emerged, stating that Sheikh Jassim has identified PSG’s Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid’s Eduardo Camavinga, and Bayern Munich’s Kingsley Coman as his transfer targets.
According to Transfermarket, Kylian Mbappe is the player with the current highest market value, valued at €180 million. Paris Saint Germain has actively expressed their will to not let go of him, and Mbappe himself has often stated his desire to play for his dream club, Real Madrid.
It would be a delight for the Red Devils fans to see one of world soccer’s biggest names play for them. The question of whether that dream will become a reality remains unanswered.
