‘No Way Bro Chooses Us, Let’s Be Honest’ ‘We Broke’ Fans Pessimistic As United And Arsenal Enter Transfer Battle

Manchester United and Arsenal are among the clubs keeping tabs on Sunderland attacking midfielder Jobe Bellingham, according to reports.

The 19-year-old is the younger brother of Jude, and United Stand journalist SamC claims that the player is “open to leaving” the Stadium of Light at the end of the season.

Considering the Red Devils’ current standing in the Premier League and the fact that there is no transfer budget to speak of, most supporters in X are not confident about their club’s chances of securing Bellingham’s services:



What do fans need to know about Bellingham?

Like his older sibling, the midfielder came through the ranks of Birmingham City, making his senior debut for the Blues at the age of 16 years and 107 days against Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup.

Bellingham went on to make 26 appearances before he joined Sunderland at the start of last season. He scored 7 goals in 45 appearances in his debut campaign for the Black Cats, and he has scored 4 times in 21 matches during his second year with the Championship side.

United are keen to recruit young talent

Major changes were made to the club’s recruitment policy following INEOS’s arrival at Old Trafford. Technical director Jason Wilcox has been given the remit to find the best young players across Europe.

Bellingham would certainly fit into that category but there is expected to be fierce competition for his signature next summer.
