Jude Bellingham has long been touted for a return to England thanks to his dazzling displays for Borussia Dortmund.
Manchester United are one of the clubs constantly linked with a move, although they are sure to have plenty of opposition for his signature should a bidding war start.
Bryan Robson, the club's former captain, is a huge fan of the 19-year-old. Robson was part of the United bid to try and entice Bellingham to Old Trafford when it became apparent he was leaving boyhood club Birmingham City in 2020.
Robson sees a little bit of himself in Bellingham's game and admits he would be a superb addition to the United engine room.

Speaking to The Sun, Robson said: "I definitely think he might have a bit of me in him. It’s all very well flying forward and trying to score but it’s also about protecting your back four. That was something I always believed that you had to do as a midfielder.
"He has fantastic anticipation — as we saw in the way he darted into the box to put away his header (against City). But he wins plenty of battles as well. A lot of people think he’s more or less an attacking midfielder but he can do the other side of it as well.
"He’s a good size. He’s pretty quick and in fact he’s got a bit of everything about him. What he’s got to do, of course, is keep his feet on the ground and work hard to be the best he can be. But you can see why he has become such a big target in the market because he is such a big talent."
