According to the Athletic, Manchester United have been keen on singing Jude Bellingham from Birmingham City. The player has been quite the success this season under Pep Clotet having won the EFL Young Player of the Month award in November. And while the award is meant for young players, to win it at just 16 years of age is mightily impressive. There is no wonder why Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is eager to brining him to Old Trafford.
When Birmingham City posted a photo of the player on their Twitter account, fans encouraged the Blues to keep hold of the player at all costs. They think his value will only increase, and they think he will be a real asset to the club going forward this season.
Make sure we keep the awesome Jude at the Blues please! #BCFC #KRO #OneofUs

One fan thinks holding onto the player will show some ambition from the club.
Please don’t rush to cash in on him! Let’s show some ambition for once and keep our young players!!!!! He’s only going to get better and worth loads more!!

What do we think?
In the Athletic’s article, it did state that Bellingham was unconvinced of a move to Manchester United just yet. This was shared via The Mirror for readers without a subscription to the Athletic. If he does stay with the club, it will be a massive boost to their second half of the season.
