Man Utd targeting young midfielder Jobe Bellingham

Manchester United is considering a move for young midfielder Jobe Bellingham, who is currently playing for Sunderland. The club aims to recruit home-grown talent and lower the average age of their squad under the guidance of Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Bellingham, 19, has been a standout player in the Championship this season. He has scored four goals and provided three assists in 34 league matches. His impressive performances have helped Sunderland climb to fourth place in the league, boosting their chances for a playoff spot. Although United has not yet made a formal offer, they are interested in Bellingham. Journalist Ben Jacobs notes that the player is not actively seeking a transfer at this time. However, he fits the criteria of a young, talented player that United is looking to sign. Sunderland is expected to demand a significant transfer fee for Bellingham. This fee may surpass their previous record sale of goalkeeper Jordan Pickford for £30 million in 2017. Bellingham is eager to advance his career and play at a higher level after spending three years in the Championship.
