WHAT FORTUNE SAID
He told Boyle Sports: “I would say that Jude Bellingham is a mixture of Roy Keane and Bryan Robson but in his own right. I would love to see him at Old Trafford. It would work well for the English national team too. If United had a bottomless budget, I’d tell them to go and get Jude Bellingham. He is out of this world, a proper player that is exactly what United need.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
United have just finished a dismal season, coming 15th in the Premier League and failing to win any silverware. Ruben Amorim's side needs seismic changes but not even Bellingham is likely to help them out of their current bind.
