Manchester United are reportedly set to intensify their pursuit of Sunderland’s rising star Jobe Bellingham as the summer transfer window approaches.
According to Fichajes, the Red Devils are eyeing a serious move for the 19-year-old midfield prodigy, who has emerged as one of the most promising young talents in the EFL Championship. Bellingham’s composure, vision, and energy in midfield have not gone unnoticed, and United see him as a long-term investment who could thrive at the Premier League level.
With their midfield engine misfiring this season, United are expected to refresh their squad—and Bellingham ticks all the boxes. While Sunderland would be reluctant to part with such a talent, United’s financial muscle gives them an edge in negotiations. The prospect of playing at Old Trafford and following in the footsteps of his brother, Jude Bellingham, might be too enticing for Jobe to ignore.
However, regular minutes will be key. At this stage of his career, the teenager is unlikely to accept a bench role and may seek assurances before committing.
United, who are keen to rebuild after a disappointing campaign, could offer Bellingham a unique platform to grow—and potentially springboard to the elite level his brother now occupies.
Whether Sunderland are willing to cash in remains to be seen, but Manchester United’s interest is real—and this transfer saga could heat up rapidly.
