Rio Ferdinand has admitted that he’d absolutely love to see Liverpool-linked Jude Bellingham come to Manchester United.
Bellingham is heavily linked with a transfer to Anfield and according to journalist Gianluca Di Marzio [Soccernews], Merseyside is his ‘dream’ destination, as covered by HITC Sport.
However, Manchester United appear to be genuine rivals for Liverpool.
That’s because BBC Sport have reported on Sunday that figures inside the Old Trafford outfit believe that they can lure the Borussia Dortmund and England sensation – who earns £49,000 per week – to Manchester.
Still only 19, Bellingham enhanced his reputation as probably the most exciting teenager in football at the World Cup, following a number of glittering displays with the Three Lions.
And Ferdinand has admitted that he’d love to see him join the Red Devils.
He told his YouTube channel: “Bellingham – English, flying the flag abroad, he’s done his bit in Germany. Time to come home baby. Manchester United. Bring him there. Make that your home, Jude. Shift the culture and take the club back to the heights it should be at.”
Is Jude Bellingham coming to Liverpool?
Well there’s certainly no shortage of speculation about it, and Jurgen Klopp has reportedly made the player his top target.
But the truth is, Bellingham is going to be worth an absolute fortune in the very near future and whether Liverpool can – or will – challenge the likes of Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain in a financial battle to get him remains to be seen.
