Manchester United will be in the running to sign Jude Bellingham next summer, and are ready to mount another bid for Frenkie de Jong.
Liverpool and Manchester City are leading the chase for Bellingham, who is expected to leave Borussia Dortmund after starring for England at the World Cup.
United will make a strong challenge to sign one of the hottest prospects in European football, having remained huge admirers of Bellingham since he moved to the Bundesliga from Birmingham City in 2020.
United thought they had won the race to sign Bellingham after the youngster and his parents visited the club’s Carrington training base where he met Sir Alex Ferguson and other club officials.
