Manchester United have been given a boost with the signing of Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jobe Bellingham.
The 20-year-old midfielder could end up leaving the German club during the January transfer window. Crystal Palace are also keen to sign Bellingham.
Bellingham are struggling at Dortmund
It appears that the player has had a difficult time finding regular players, as his father seems to have fallen out with sporting director Sebastian Kehl.
He needs to play more often at this stage of his career and leaving the German club could be ideal for him. It will be interesting to see if they intend to let him go on loan or sell him outright. Bellingham started just two league games this season.
Manchester United focus on Jobe Bellingham
According to football sources, Manchester United are interested in signing him. They could use more quality players in the middle of the park and the 20-year-old would be a long-term signing for them. He is highly regarded across Europe and has been compared to former Chelsea star Frank Lampard for his all-action style in the middle of the park.
Manchester United could use a player with his skill set, which would be a great investment. Given his current situation, it won’t be difficult to convince him to join the club. However, it remains to be seen whether the German team is ready to sell him mid-season. In addition, he is a great player with a bright future and the Bundesliga side may already decide to be patient instead of giving up on the player.
If Manchester United can manage to get a deal done, it would be a solid signing for them. With the right guidance, he could develop into a key player and establish himself as an essential asset for the Red Devils.
