Rio Ferdinand has urged Manchester United to do whatever it takes to acquire Jude Bellingham - just months after claiming that the club no longer had the pulling power to lure big names to Old Trafford.
Bellingham, 19, was already one of the most sought-after talents in Europe but his stock is now at an all-time high after his dazzling performances for England at the World Cup. The midfield prodigy has hit new heights since moving to Borussia Dortmund in 2020 and is expected to leave the Bundesliga outfit next summer.
Already, a host of elite European clubs have been credited with an interest in the Birmingham City academy graduate. The likes of Real Madrid and Liverpool are believed to be leading the chase for Bellingham, but that hasn't stopped Ferdinand from tipping United to snare the coveted playmaker.
