When Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was boss at Manchester United, he welcomed 16-year-old Jude Bellingham with his mum and dad. United were willing to go to great lengths to provide the best working conditions for the teenager, who had already played his way to a permanent place at Championship club Birmingham. Bellingham famously chose Dortmund. Now United are ready for a new round to convince a Bellingham.
According to the Evening Standard, Man United expect to create financial room for manoeuvre with more sales this summer, and in a position to offer 19-year-old Jobe Bellingham very good terms. Little brother does not have the same rocket speed in development as Jude, but is a regular in the starting eleven of promotion candidate Sunderland and is taking big steps.
If Sunderland are promoted to the Premier League, Bellingham is considering staying, reports the Evening Standard, Manchester United will have to put conditions on the table and a race in which Amorim persuades Jobe to make the choice big brother did not make about Old Trafford.
Game’s on.
