49erssports.com - Wayne Rooney wants to see Jude Bellingham at Manchester United. The former Red Devils sticker hopes Bellingham will reject offers to move to Liverpool and Manchester City.
Bellingham has been linked with Manchester United for a long time. In 2020, he decided to move to Germany by joining Borussia Dortmund.
Bellingham developed very rapidly after moving to Signal Iduna Park. The 19-year-old midfielder has scored nine goals and three assists in 22 matches this season.
Thanks to his slick appearance in Germany, Bellingham is reportedly the target of a number of Premier League clubs. Among them Liverpool and Manchester City.
Join MU
Rooney was very impressed with Bellingham's abilities. He also hopes the midfielder can move closer to Old Trafford.
"I hope so! I hope he doesn't go to Liverpool or [Manchester] City!" Rooney told talkSPORT.
"But I'm sure they did their job, he's probably the hottest young player in world football right now.
"I'm sure United saw that too, I know they tried to get him a few years ago so I hope so."
Ever Faced Bellingham
Rooney himself had faced Bellingham when he was still playing with Derby County in the Championship.
"I played against Bellingham when he was at Birmingham and I was at Derby," he recalled.
"And he was really guarding me during the game, I think he was about 16 years old, maybe only 17 years old, and what I really like about him is every time I pass the ball he will leave me."
