Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has told Jude Bellingham a move to Old Trafford would make more sense than switching to Real Madrid, Chelsea or Liverpool.
The 19-year-old has gone from strength to strength this season at Borussia Dortmund scoring 10 goals and grabbing six assists in 28 appearances. Despite his tender age, the teenager has also been handed the captain's armband on a couple of occasions, including in the Champions League against Chelsea this week.
The England international also gained plenty of plaudits for his performances at the World Cup in Qatar. MEN Sport reported soon afterwards that Erik ten Hag would be open to making a bid for the ex-Birmingham City man if the moment arises.

And former Old Trafford frontman Saha, speaking to Paddy Power, feels Bellingham at United would be a good fit.
He said: "Manchester United are a big enough draw for Bellingham because they're playing quality football. Jude Bellingham is English and I'm sure would be proud to play for such a big club.
"Real Madrid have invested in Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga so they’ve got players in that position, including Luka Modric. It's a different situation and a different environment at Real Madrid but it’s still a big challenge. He is being chased by the biggest clubs in the world so it’s his own decision.
"A player of Bellingham’s quality would be a perfect match for Manchester United. People have been linking him with Liverpool and I understand that, but they’ve got problems at the moment, the same with Chelsea."
If United do seriously explore the prospect of signing Bellingham in the summer, it would not be the first time. Before joining Dortmund the teenager was given a tour of Carrington and met key United staff members but he chose to move to the Bundesliga club instead.
