Manchester United fans have sent a clear message to club captain Harry Maguire, after he was pictured sitting next to Jude Bellingham.
Bellingham has fast become one of the most sought-after talents in football, as he has translated his stunning form in the Bundesliga to the biggest stage in Qatar. The 19-year-old has continued to impress during England's World Cup campaign, with his performances no doubt making all of Europe's top clubs competing for his signature sit up and take notice as they try to tempt him away from Dortmund.
The midfielder, who opted to move to Germany instead of United following his departure from Birmingham City two years ago, has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League. Although the rumours continue to circulate, Bellingham has remained tight-lipped on his next move when asked about a possible transfer away from Dortmund last month.

Speaking to PA about his future, he said: "The club has done loads for me, made me feel very welcome and given me the opportunities to develop further. To look past that and into the future would be disrespectful."
With the teenager being in such fine form for his country, United and other interested parties will be looking for any possible advantage they can find in the race for his signature. Supporters of the club appear to have found exactly that, after an Instagram post emerged of Maguire and Bellingham smiling next to one another.
It did not take long for fans to send a clear message to both Maguire and the club, as they flooded the comment section, seeing the United captain in the perfect position to convince Bellingham to make the move to Old Trafford.
