Rio Ferdinand claims Jude Bellingham has 'outgrown' Borussia Dortmund after Man United interest

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has claimed that Jude Bellingham has "outgrown" Borussia Dortmund, as speculation over his future continues to grow.

The 19-year-old midfielder, who opted to join Dortmund instead of United following his departure from Birmingham City two years ago, has again been heavily linked with United. Bellingham has impressed suitors around the world during his time in Germany, scoring 12 goals and providing 18 assists in the 98 appearances he has made for the Black and Yellows.

Given his form, it is therefore no surprise that United are now being linked with a move to sign Bellingham, as rumours surrounding his desire to leave the club next summer refuse to go away. The former Birmingham player was tight-lipped when recently asked about his future at Dortmund, as he refused to give much away due to the respect he has for his current club.
