Manchester United are reportedly in the hunt for Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham, with the Red Devils having a 'genuine' interest in signing him this summer.

Bellingham's future is currently the subject of much speculation, with the England international expected to be on the move during the upcoming market.

Liverpool and Real Madrid have long been considered as the favourites to land the 19-year-old, while Manchester City are also thought to be in the race for his signature.

Various reports have claimed that Man United are down the pecking order when it comes to Bellingham's preferred club, but according to The Telegraph, the 20-time English champions are in the hunt for the midfielder.

The report claims that Erik ten Hag's side have a 'genuine' interest in the Englishman, who was heavily linked with a switch to Old Trafford before moving to Dortmund from Birmingham City in the summer of 2020.

Man United would also allegedly be willing to pay the €125m (£110m) that BVB are expected to demand for the teenager's signature in the upcoming market.

A recent report claimed that Real Madrid had made first contact with Bellingham, with a representative from Los Blancos travelling to Germany to meet with the midfielder's camp.

Bellingham is expected to meet with Dortmund during the upcoming international break to discuss his future, with the Bundesliga giants not giving up hope of convincing him to sign a new deal.

The youngster's current agreement with BVB is due to run until the summer of 2025, placing the German club in a strong position to negotiate a high price in the upcoming market.

Bellingham has again been in strong form for Dortmund during the 2022-23 campaign, scoring 10 goals and registering six assists in 33 appearances in all competitions.

In total, the former Birmingham youngster has featured on 123 occasions for BVB since his arrival in 2020, scoring 20 goals and contributing 24 assists in the process.

Man United are expected to prioritise the signing of a new centre-forward this summer, with Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane and Napoli's Victor Osimhen linked with switches to the club.

However, Red Devils head coach Erik ten Hag is also believed to want a new midfielder, with Scott McTominay potentially being allowed to depart over the summer.

Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong and West Ham United's Declan Rice are also being heavily linked with moves to Old Trafford ahead of the 2023-24 campaign. body check tags ::
