'He could make United a proper team': Paul Scholes insists Red Devils are 'in contention' to sign Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund in the summer... but says he expects him to join Real Madrid

Paul Scholes has claimed that Manchester United are in contention to sign Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund this summer.

The 19-year-old England international is expected to make a big money move away from Germany in the summer transfer window.

Speaking on BT Sport ahead of United's Europa League quarter-final against Sevilla at Old Trafford, Scholes claimed that his former club could land Bellingham's signature despite seemingly being out of the race at the start of the season.

Scholes also stated his belief that given his age, Bellingham would turn United into a 'proper team' for many years to come.
