Manchester United ’s inability to sign Jude Bellingham two years ago has been thrust into the spotlight once again after the midfielder opened up about his move to Borussia Dortmund.
Bellingham joined Dortmund in a £25million transfer from his hometown club Birmingham City back in July 2020. The 18-year-old has since gone on to establish himself as one of the most promising young players in Europe and become a regular for England.
United made a concerted effort to woo Bellingham two years ago, enlisting Sir Alex Ferguson to convince him to join and giving him a tour of the club’s training facilities. Bellingham was reportedly impressed with the lengths United went to, but he still opted against a move to Old Trafford.
