Man United fans have been reacting to the news that the club is reportedly interested in signing Sunderland midfielder Jobe Bellingham.
The Red Devils want to add a midfielder in the summer as they look to find players that can fit into Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 formation.
Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte look to be solid options for Amorim, but behind them, United don’t have many options in midfield. Furthermore, Christian Eriksen’s contract is due to expire at the end of the season, meaning the Red Devils will need to replace him.
According to a recent report by the Standard, United are keen to sign Sunderland midfielder Jobe Bellingham in the summer transfer window.

I will be happy if it costs around 20M decent signing

Will he fit the system is the question at hand

Now we’re talking. Watch him be better than his brother

Doesn’t look half bad but we need proven, tried and tested. Genetics won’t cut it for us

Man United face competition to sign Bellingham
The Red Devils aren’t the only Premier League team to be monitoring the Sunderland midfielder, as several sides are looking to potentially add him in the summer.
Arsenal, Tottenham and Crystal Palace have previously been linked to Bellingham, who looks set for a Premier League move if the Black Cats don’t achieve promotion this season.
The 19-year-old has made 34 Championship appearances this season for Sunderland, scoring four goals and providing three assists.
