Manchester United 'NEED' to sign 'superstar' Jude Bellingham to compete with the Premier League elite, claims Steve McManaman... as Liverpool 'are in the hot-seat to buy the England youngster'

Steve McManaman has claimed that Manchester United 'need' to sign teenage wonderkid Jude Bellingham to be a force in the Premier League again.

Bellingham has had a meteoric rise since joining Borussia Dortmund from Birmingham City in July 2020 and making his debut as a 17-year-old.

Since then he has represented England at Euro 2020 this summer and at 18 is a Dortmund regular, racking up a host of top-tier admirers in an extremely short period of time.
