Jude Bellingham has emerged as a superstar for Real Madrid this season, with an impressive performance in La Liga which includes 16 goals from 23 games. Manchester United had shown interest in Bellingham when he made his debut at Birmingham as a 16-year-old.
However, despite their efforts, Borussia Dortmund acquired him and later sold him to Real Madrid for £88.5 million. This move has made Bellingham a key player for both club and country, and he is expected to have a significant role in England’s Euro 2024 campaign. United’s failure to land Bellingham has been attributed to a “rubbish” pitch and the inability of legends like Robson and Cantona to convince him to join the team. Robson expressed his disappointment, recounting the time when he and Cantona met Bellingham at the training ground.
Bellingham’s potential has been recognized, and there is excitement about his partnership with Declan Rice in the England national team. Robson praised Bellingham’s temperament and work ethic, highlighting the importance of maintaining grounded despite early success. He also emphasized the significance of Bellingham’s goal-scoring ability as a central midfielder. Members of our community receive special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
