Manchester United are expected to strengthen in the upcoming summer transfer window. And one of the clubs whose players they have been most heavily linked with are Borussia Dortmund.

It is no secret that they wanted to sign Jadon Sancho in the previous summer transfer window but ultimately a move failed to materialise with Borussia Dortmund believed to have been looking for a transfer fee in the region of €120 million. It is believed that Sancho could be available for a much lower transfer fee this summer though and a move to Old Trafford might still be on the cards.

Erling Haaland is another player that the Red Devils are believed to be interested in. The 20-year-old Norwegian has established himself as one of the best strikers in the world already. But a summer move for him seems unlikely as the transfer fee required to pull it off is believed to be in the range of €150 million to €180 million.

And now, it looks like Manchester United have an eye on Jude Bellingham as well although the Bundesliga giants do not appear to be open to the idea of a transfer. Fabrizio Romano tweeted out:

Manchester United linked with Bellingham

Bellingham has always been considered as one of the biggest talents in the world. But even then, his recent performances have been extraordinary, especially for someone who is still just 17 years of age!

There is no doubt that if Bellingham continues to develop at this rate, he will be one of the best players on the planet in the near future. According to stats from Transfermarkt, he has scored 4 goals and provided 4 assists in 43 appearances for Borussia Dortmund this season.

Central midfield is also an area which Manchester United might need to strengthen in going forward and thus, someone like Bellingham could be the perfect signing for them. But it looks very unlikely that Borussia Dortmund will let the youngster leave this summer.
