'They need to break the bank for a big-time player' - Man Utd urged to launch £150m Jude Bellingham swoop with Real Madrid 'hierarchy' creating transfer opportunity

<p>Manchester United have begun a new era after appointing Ruben Amorim as head coach and are hoping the Portuguese boss can restore the club to its former glories. The former Sporting manager has overseen a difficult start to life at Old Trafford but optimism has been fuelled in recent weeks <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-liverpool-lisandro-martinez-amad-diallo-harry-maguire/blt684e4113705d7256" target="_blank">by a 2-2 draw against Premier League leaders Liverpool</a> and a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-arsenal-bruno-fernandes-alejandro-garnacho-altay-bayindir-joshua-zirkzee/blt7f101f972f0f48b3" target="_blank">morale-boosting FA Cup third-round win over Arsenal</a>.</p><p></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Amorim is expected to dip into the transfer market as he reshapes his squad and has been advised to go all out for Bellingham. The <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/award-jude-bellingham-real-madrid-la-liga-player-of-the-year-debut-season-champions-league-winners/bltcadab3aae450ad5b" target="_blank">England international has starred for Madrid</a> since signing from Borussia Dortmund, winning La Liga and the Champions League, but Yorke has warned he will never be the "main guy" at Santiago Bernabeu with Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe around.</p><p></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Yorke told <a href="https://www.coincasino.com" target="_blank">CoinCasino.com</a>: "Man United would need £150 million to have a chance of signing Jude Bellingham. Look at Man United's history, every two to three years, the club would bring in a high-profile signing. I can't remember the last big signing Man United have made, maybe Zlatan Ibrahimovic in 2016. Man United need to make rivals go 'oof, what a signing'.&nbsp; They need to break the bank for a big-time player, like Real Madrid do. Bellingham would be the perfect player to sign, but I'm sure he'll want to stay a few more years at Real Madrid and turn things around for them this season. But, Bellingham will never be the main guy at the club now, Vinicius Jr and Kylian Mbappe are higher than him in the pecking order. It reminds me of the trio of Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo and Luis Figo.&nbsp; We all know Mbappe is the top guy at the club, then it's Vinicius. I think Bellingham is ranked the third-most important player at Real Madrid. He'll know that too, he'll be sat in the dressing room with them and he knows where he is in that hierarchy at the club."</p>
