Manchester United Handed Jude Bellingham Boost<\/h2>\n

Teenager Attracting Interest With Borussia Dortmund and Manchester United Going for Jude Bellingham<\/h3>\n

Jude Bellingham is arguably the most sought after talent in football right now. The 16-year-old has burst onto the scene for Championship<\/a> side Birmingham City this season, attracting interest<\/a> from all over Europe. Ultimately, Borussia Dortmund and Manchester United have emerged as frontrunners. However, the likes of Chelsea<\/a>, Bayern Munich<\/a>, and Real Madrid<\/a> have also been part of this enormous race.<\/p>\n

Bellingham has seven direct goal involvements in England\u2019s second division this season from central midfield and has displayed his clear talent since becoming the youngest player to appear for his midlands side at just 16 years and 38 days.<\/p>\n

Borussia Dortmund Seemed to Have the Upper Hand<\/h3>\n

Merely days ago, the German outfit seemed to have the upper hand in this deal. Reports suggested that<\/a> Bellingham would snub United for BVB, making another U-Turn from having previously said that<\/a> he would join the Red Devils.<\/p>\n

The Yellow and Blacks have recently become renowned for nurturing great young talent, with the likes of Jadon Sancho<\/a> and Erling Braut H\u00e5land<\/a> currently succeeding there, however, Manchester United now seem to be ahead in the race for Bellingham\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n

Manchester United Now Ahead<\/h3>\n

The \u00a330 million man could now reportedly join Manchester United. The Red Devils have made their admiration for the Englishman clear, even giving him a tour of their training complex, but seemingly to little avail. That was, however, until Borussia Dortmund\u2019s recent statement.<\/p>\n

Dortmund are now putting business \u2018on ice\u2019 due to uncertainty caused by Coronavirus concerns. It has already made for bad financial implications, and with the situation set to become even direr, the worst may be yet to come. Due to this, Dortmund do not know what their transfer plan will be in the summer, opening the door for United to snap Bellingham up.<\/p>\n
