Man United hoping for an Alli or Rooney outcome

More from Manchester United

If rumours are true and the once-mighty Red Devils are ready to battle at £30m for one of England’s most promising prospects, they must be trusting he will be a hit like previous legend, Wayne Rooney. That, or a turnaround like current English international, Dele Alli.

I consider both Wayne and Dele to be big successes in the EPL, even though the latter has had a major dip in form across campaigns. Thankfully, some of that class form has returned since the inclusion of Jose Mourinho as Spurs manager.

A reason he (Bellingham) could become either of the two England stars mentioned is due to his ability to play a copious amount of positions in the team. The possibility of becoming either or is quite high. The odds of him surpassing Alli is even higher.

Not only does he possess this multifaceted character as a teenager but he also has the class to play in each position at the highest level like some of the senior players in Top Flight football. At his tender age, he has already made 24 appearances for City and has been involved in four goals for the club. Amazing for a young English playing in the EFL Championship.

Now is the time to risk it all

Man United need to complete the signings of Bruno Fernandes and now Jude Bellingham. At £30m many would question, haven’t Man United wasted enough money on unproven talent? Well, right now, United are not in the driving seat regarding transfers and many other things.

They will be milked by clubs and players for the most money they can. As always, adding to this, English players are just way overpriced. Though this should also stand as testimony to how good he is and the potential he can unlock to becoming a world-class Premier League player.
