Former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan warns Birmingham City wonderkid Jude Bellingham against a proposed move to Manchester United.

Former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan has warned Birmingham City wonderkid Jude Bellingham against a proposed move to Manchester United.

The 16-year-old midfielder - compared to Steven Gerrard and hailed as one of England's brightest young talents - has been linked with a number of Europe's top clubs ahead of the summer transfer window including Manchester United, Liverpool and German outfit Borussia Dortmund.

Speaking to talkSPORT, Jordan has warned the teenager about making a big move at such a young age, citing two of his former Crystal Palace youngsters John Bostock and Wilfried Zaha as examples.

"I had a kid at Crystal Palace who was talked about in this fashion called John Bostock, who made a move to a supposedly bigger club at that time in Tottenham, against the advice of most of the sensible people around him," Jordan said.

"He didn't play for Harry [Redknapp], his career has gone to the left field and he's now coming back into English football with Nottingham Forest 10 or 12 years after the event.

"Bellingham is a prodigious talent, but making a move at 16 and going to a club like Manchester United that is in a transition period, he's unlikely to get first team football.

"Wilfried Zaha couldn't do it at 19, and this kid is 16 going into that environment."

Bellingham has played regularly in the Championship for the Midlands club, where he has made 32 appearances, scoring four goals and providing three assists.
