Jude Bellingham is one of the best teenage midfielders in the world and made his move to Borussia Dortmund in the January transfer window. Manchester United were heavily linked to Bellingham in January but he instead chose to go to Germany and develop his talent. In his latest talk with The Telegraph, Jude Bellingham has clarified the situation in January when he moved from Birmingham to Dortmund.
Jude Bellingham was heavily linked to the Red Devils and even got a tour of Carrington, by Sir Alex Ferguson himself. But he decided to join Dortmund rather, leaving United red-faced, as United has always been a club to get the best teenagers. In his latest interview, Bellingham has talked about the reason he ditched United to go to Germany.
The teenager said: “Well, you know, Man United have a great squad but my decision had nothing to do with Man United. was so focused and so happy with the interest from Dortmund that this became my first choice. For me, it was Borussia Dortmund and that’s it. When you find somewhere that’s the best place to be, you kind of ignore everything else, you know what I mean?”
The English teenager is doing very well at Dortmund, as the German club has given him a lot of game-time. Only 17-years old, Bellingham has his best days ahead of him and will only improve with his performances and value in due course of time. Manchester United are very likely to miss the chance of signing Bellingham as he shows signs of becoming a world-beater.
