      Several high profile clubs have been linked to Bellingham including Chelsea and Real Madrid.
      But according to journalist Kevin Hatchard no club has a plan in place to lure Bellingham away from Dortmund.
      The 19-year-old has impressed this season and could even stay at the German giants despite the mounting interest.
      Dortmund offer Bellingham a guarantee of regular football and are set to progress in the Champions League, which should appeal to the wonderkid.

      The former Birmingham City star is also valued highly by Dortmund boss Edin Terzic, who revealed Bellingham is happy where he is.
      Terzic also believes Bellingham will be a key part of the England midfield for years to come and has tipped him to be a big hit at the World Cup.
      Success with England will see interest in Bellingham soar with Manchester United already believed to be keeping tabs.
      United invited Bellingham to their training ground for talks before he moved to Germany and with Erik ten Hag aiming to improve his midfield a bid could be on the cards.

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED legend Dwight Yorke revealed he held a secret conversation with Cristiano Ronaldo that he claims the club would rather be kept quiet.Yorke spoke to Ronaldo six months ago after United’s worst ever Premier League season which later saw the five-time Ballon d’Or winner trying to leave Old Trafford.

      The star forward ultimately stayed with the Red Devils but has been enduring a turbulent campaign under new manager Erik ten Hag.
      It all came to a head last week when the Portugal International refused to come on against Tottenham and stormed down the tunnel before leaving Old Trafford.
      As a result, Ten Hag axed the 37-year-old for the subsequent clash at Chelsea and ordered him to train by himself at Carrington.
      The Dutch tactician has ultimately reinstated Ronaldo to his team for tonight’s Europa League clash against Sheriff Tiraspol after crunch talks, but Yorke suggested there is more to the ongoing drama.

      The legendary striker claims CR7 told him things United would “probably pay him £5million” to keep to himself.
      Yorke told The United Stand: “In the conversation I had with him, I got so much information that if I were to reveal some of the things that he told me, I think United would have probably paid me £5million to keep quiet.”
      Ronaldo, though, issued a defiant message on Instagram stating he is “back on track” ahead of tonight’s home clash against Sheriff, in which he could even start.
      Ten Hag added that he wishes to move on from the controversy and focus on the challenges ahead.

      The United boss said: “It’s not difficult. But we said everything and we answered all the questions, he was out for one game and is back in the squad as usual.
      “We will not answer anymore, so all the questions, I think, everything we explained and we have to focus on the game.
      “We have an important game because we want to be number one in the group.
      “I don’t have to do it anymore, it’s done, he’s back, focus on the game, that’s important that Cristiano is involved.” More

      And he could be allowed to leave with Erik ten Hag keen to sign a goalkeeper better suited to his style of play.
      There are question marks over De Gea’s ability to play out from the back, while the Spaniard is also on an eye-watering £280,000-a-week.
      According to The Athletic, United are searching for young goalkeepers who can slot into Ten Hag’s method of playing.
      The scouting assignment is headed by United’s chief goalkeeping scout Tony Coton, with the club reported to be interested in Spain and Atletic Bilbao keeper Unai Simon.

      The 25-year-old has ousted De Gea as Spain No1, starting 27 out of their last 29 games.
      Simon has also attracted interest from Arsenal and Tottenham with the latter viewing him as a potential successor to Huge Lloris.
      United are also believed to be monitoring Porto shot-stopper Diogo Costa.
      Like Simon he is a good age at 23 and has performed well for Porto with his hands and feet this season.

      He twice saved a penalty against Club Brugge in the Champions League on Wednesday after the referee ordered a re-take, which means he is the first goalkeeper to save three penalties in a single Champions League since records began in 2003.
      United scouts have watched Costa this season with a £30million move under consideration.
      However, Ten Hag could stick with De Gea after revealing he gets on well with the 31-year-old.
      He said: “His first two games of the season were not his best performances but after that you see he brings us a lot for the defence department and stability.
      “As a person, also, I like him. I co-operate really well with him.” More

      “I think they’re two different leagues [the Premier League and La Liga]. But I think I can adapt to both for sure. And I think with the experience that I’ve had here in France, it will help me a lot if I need to adapt to some place else a lot faster.
      “So yeah I think both leagues suit me.”
      Chelsea have been heavily linked with David, with reports suggesting the forward could be Graham Potter’s first season.

      Ralf Rangnick reveals Man Utd board BLOCKED transfers for Erling Haaland, Luis Diaz and FOUR other stars last January

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED’s board blocked transfers for the likes of Erling Haaland and Luis Diaz, former interim manager Ralf Rangnick has claimed.Rangnick, 64, was temporarily placed in charge of Man Utd until the end of last season following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s sacking last November.

      And the German was left short in the forwards department after Anthony Martial left the club on loan for Sevilla and Mason Greenwood was suspended indefinitely by the club.
      That left United relying on Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, who provided the goods when they needed him, to the tune of 24 goals across all competitions.
      Nonetheless, additional support would’ve helped United’s push for a top-four finish, which they narrowly missed out on last term, coming in at sixth.
      Rangnick has since told Bild journalist Christian Falk that he tried to sign a forward in the January transfer window.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      Names such as now Manchester City ace Haaland, Liverpool’s Diaz, RB Leipzig’s Christopher Nkunku, Fiorentina’s Dusan Vlahovic and Alavaro Morata were all recommended.
      A defensive reinforcement in Josko Gvardiol was also put forward, but the club refused to seal any winter transfers.
      Rangnick confirmed in May that the club didn’t try for a forward late on in January.
      He said: “The answer at the time was no there was no player on the market that could really help us – there were a few, Diaz who is now at Liverpool, Alvarez who will be at Manchester City in the summer, Vlahovic who at the time still was with Fiorentina those are just three of them that come across my mind now.

      “We had four days off at the time and on the Sunday I was informed about the issues with Mason Greenwood and obviously Anthony Martial had already left and then I was aware that within four days we had some strikers missing and it might make sense, we were still in three competitions – Champions League, FA Cup and fourth in the league but that’s the past and it doesn’t help us anymore.
      “I spoke to the board and said shouldn’t we at least speak and try and analyse if we could get a player either on loan or as a permanent deal but in the end the answer was no.
      “I still believe that we should have at least tried, if we would’ve found and been able in 48 hours, 48 hours is short notice but it’s still 48 hours, it might have been worth to try and internally discuss but we didn’t and it was not done.”
      The form since of Diaz at Liverpool and in particular Haaland at Manchester City will have Manchester United fans wondering what could have been had Rangnick been backed in January.
      The Red Devils did splurge over the summer, backing new manager Erik ten Hag in the market.
      Antony and Lisandro Martinez were signed from Ajax in big money moves.
      Meanwhile Casemiro came in from Real Madrid and Tyrell Malacia joined from Feyenoord.

      Christian Eriksen also arrived at the club on a free transfer.
      Like where they finished last season, Manchester United currently find themselves sixth in the table. More

      Man Utd urged to ‘cut their losses’ on £40m forgotten man Donny van de Beek as rivals flock for bargain January transfer

      United spent £40million to land Van de Beek from Ajax.
      But he netted just once in his first season at Old Trafford.
      And last year Van de Beek found himself loaned out to Everton after tumbling down the pecking order.
      Since returning to United, he has made just three appearances under Erik ten Hag – his former boss at Ajax.

      And Sky Sports’ Dharmesh Sheth reckons United could now let Van de Beek leave for a bargain price.
      Ajax failed with an attempt to re-sign the playmaker over the summer.
      There was also interest from Italian champs AC Milan.
      And Leicester are now thought to be preparing a £13m January bid.

      Sheth reckons as a result, United are considering a permanent break for Van de Beek, who looks unlikely to win his place back any time soon.
      Sheth told GiveMeSport: “You never know. Come January, there’s potential that United might think they should cut their losses and see if there’s a club who would be willing to pay money for Donny van de Beek.
      “It was interesting to note that in the January transfer window – when Van de Beek went to Everton – I think United’s preference would probably have been for him to have gone to a European club, where the play and the build-up play is slightly slower and more suited to van de Beek’s style of play.
      “He could have got a lot more games had he gone abroad, maybe performed well, come back to United and maintained a good value.
      “But, instead, he went to Everton. Effectively, what has happened to him at United happened to him at Everton because it probably wasn’t the right choice.” More
