Jude Bellingham's 'transfer preference' deals blow to Manchester United and more rumours

Manchester United have reportedly suffered a huge blow to their hopes of signing Jude Bellingham this summer.

Reds boss Erik ten Hag has made signing a top-class goalscorer his number one priority when the window opens in the summer, but is also thought to want to bring in a dynamic midfielder, with Borussia Dortmund's Bellingham said to fit the bill. Following a series of stellar performances for England at the World Cup over the winter, speculation that the young midfielder could be on the move increased.

Real Madrid, Liverpool and Chelsea have all been credited with holding an interest in Bellingham, who came close to signing for United when he was shown around their Carrington training base before eventually opting for the move to Germany from Birmingham City in 2019. Sadly for United fans, Bellingham could be set to turn the club down for a second time according to the latest reports.
