Sunderland midfielder Jobe Bellingham has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season, and Manchester United are keen on him.
According to a report from Team Talk, Sunderland are optimistic about keeping the 19-year-old midfielder at the club beyond this summer. The development will come as a major blow for Manchester United. The 19-year-old is highly rated across Europe, and he has a bright future ahead of himself.
He could develop into a top-class player for Manchester United if they can get the deal done. Manchester United need to improve their squad after a disappointing season, and signing the 19-year-old could be a wise decision.
He has the qualities to develop into a quality Premier League midfielder with the right guidance. Joining one of the biggest clubs in the country will be quite exciting for him.
Man United need quality players to bouce back
Manchester United have finished in the bottom half of the league table this past season, and for a club of their stature, comma, it is simply unacceptable. They will look to bounce back strongly with quality signings during the summer transfer window.
They need more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and the 19-year-old would be a solid long-term investment for them. He has proven himself in the championship with Sunderland, and there is no doubt that he has the quality to thrive in the top flight as well.
It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Manchester United certainly have the resources to get the deal across the line, and they will be hoping to sign the 19-year-old in the coming weeks. Convincing him to join the club should not be difficult for them.
They are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be hard to turn down for the youngster. However, Sunderland will not want to lose a player of his potential anytime soon. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can finalise an agreement quickly.
