Bellingham warned against hitting ‘brick wall’ with Man Utd move as Pennant tells 16-year-old to snub switch

The former Blues winger knows all about making high-profile transfers as a teenager and feels a Birmingham starlet should bide his time at St Andrew’s

Manchester United have been heavily linked with Birmingham youngster Jude Bellingham, but Jermaine Pennant has warned the 16-year-old that he would hit a “brick wall” at Old Trafford.

On the back of just 26 competitive appearances, the youngest player to ever represent the Blues is attracting plenty of admiring glances from afar.

Arsenal are said to be sitting alongside Premier League rivals United in the race to prise a hot prospect from St Andrew’s.
