Despite United’s efforts, Jude Bellingham opted for a move to Borussia Dortmund, signing for the Bundesliga outfit last year for £25million and has shined since. But as per the publication, the record English champions are the favourites to sign the youngster if he is to leave the German club.

‘United may have lost out last year when he moved to Germany, but the ground work they put in has made a lasting impression on Jude and his family. They were really impressed with the effort United made and the respect they were shown by everyone at the club. Meeting Sir Alex Ferguson was the icing on the cake,’ the publication added.
