Manchester United supporters are dreaming of seeing a midfield partnership of Casemiro and Jude Bellingham at Old Trafford.
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Bellingham had already established himself as one of the game's most exciting young players but has stepped up even further this season with consistently excellent performances. Despite still being just 19, the midfielder is taking the Champions League by storm and has scored in all four group games so far - including against Manchester City.
There is understandably plenty of transfer rumours surrounding Bellingham's future and United are one of the many clubs credited with an interest, though the club understands any deal would be impossible without Champions League football to offer. United were actually in the race to sign the former Birmingham man before his move to Germany in 2020, inviting the player and his family for a tour of Carrington.

However, Bellingham picked Dortmund, a decision that's proven to be a wise one given his continued improvement and rise in the game. Just like former teammate Jadon Sancho, however, there will likely come a time when a big-money offer comes in and Bellingham leaves Signal Iduna Park.
United fans are desperate for their club to be his next destination and were sent into a frenzy when he scored once again on Tuesday. Bellingham notched the equaliser for Dortmund against Sevilla, starting a move by sending the ball out wide and dashing into the box where he then turned home the resulting cross.
United supporters have been left dazzled by the teenager's performances and believe he could form a dynamic, elegant and robust partnership with Casemiro, who enjoyed a great full Premier League debut on Sunday in the victory over Everton. The Brazilian made plenty of vital interceptions and tackles at Goodison Park, one of which led to him playing through Cristiano Ronaldo for the winner.
Despite bringing Casemiro and Christian Eriksen into Old Trafford this summer, Erik ten Hag could yet look to bring in further midfield reinforcements next year and it's clear to see who United fans want their club to sign.
