Jude Bellingham Set to Snub Manchester United in Favour of Move to Germany
Attracting Plenty of Interest
Bellingham has become one of the most highly sought-after teenagers in football after an excellent 2019/20 campaign. The 16-year-old has had one of the best breakout seasons possible with Birmingham City and has attracted interest from all around Europe.
Of the teams interested, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and United have emerged as the most likely candidates for his signature. While Bayern have left the picture in recent weeks, leaks have contradicted each other, with some saying he will move to Manchester, while others are more confident of a transfer to Dortmund.
Why Might He Join Manchester United
Although it now seems likely that a move to Borussia Dortmund will be the next step in Bellingham’s career, there are still reasons why he would join United.
According to the Mirror, his family feels that a move outside of England would be detrimental for his career. This, therefore, rules out Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich.
While other teams such as Chelsea have also monitored Jude Bellingham’s progress, it seemed that United were the furthest ahead English side in the race for his signature, making it likely that the young prospect would join the Red Devils.
Jude Bellingham More Likely to Join Borussia Dortmund
While United even gave Bellingham a tour of their training ground, Carrington, and a chance to meet club legend and former manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, it seems that he will snub them for Borussia Dortmund. Although the Mirror reported contrary to this, there was no confirmation, and it seems the German club is his best career choice.
The German outfit have become renowned for its ability to nurture young talent recently. Erling Braut Håland and Jadon Sancho are two who are currently reaching their potential in Dortmund. Håland joined the Black and Yellows amid much interest elsewhere, and Jude Bellingham looks set to do the same.
