Owen Hargreaves told BT Sport’s Champions League Tonight that he thinks Liverpool target Jude Bellingham can turn Manchester United into a title-challenger – picking United, when asked where would he go if in Bellingham’s shoes. Bellingham, 19, nabbed his second goal of the season on Tuesday night as Dortmund eased to a comfortable 3-0 win over Danish side Copenhagen. The 15-time England star is just three appearances away from 100 games for Dortmund.

The youngster has managed to play 97 times despite only joining Dortmund from Birmingham City in 2020. But he has quickly established himself as one of the best young players in World football. He is linked with a return to England. Liverpool owners FSG believe that Bellingham will join their club next summer, for a huge fee of £100million. But for now, it simply remains as rumours.
