Dortmund superstar Jude Bellingham should join Manchester United rather than Liverpool or Manchester City, according to Louis Saha.
The England midfielder is set to leave the German giants at the end of the season and every elite club in Europe would love to have Bellingham in their ranks.
Bellingham joined Dortmund in 2020 for a fee of around £25m and he rejected United in the process, despite meeting with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Sir Alex Ferguson at the club’s training ground.
The 20-year-old has since developed into one of the brightest talents in world football and Dortmund are resigned to losing him this summer.
Liverpool have put in plenty of groundwork into signing Bellingham and the midfielder is said to be keen on a move to Anfield – provided the club qualify for next season’s Champions League.
Manchester City and Real Madrid are also interested in Bellingham and could likely get closer to Dortmund’s £120m asking price for the Englishman.
But Saha, who spent five years at Old Trafford, believes Bellingham should join a resurgent Manchester United.

‘For a player that’s very young, he has the luxury of having interest from many, many big clubs,’ Saha told the Games Cabin.‘His heart should always go for the team he really loves, where he believes he can achieve a lot of things and where he believes he could improve. That’s up to him.
‘As a fan of Manchester United, I would obviously say that Manchester United is the ideal destination for Jude. A lot of the time, player’s don’t necessarily go to the clubs they love and respect the most.‘A lot of it is to do with the salary and what their agents are thinking, so a lot of it will depend on that. The kid is so talented and he deserves to make his own choice.‘This season, Manchester United are so exciting and for a player like Jude, who’s got intelligence, great energy, composure and all the skills you need, then he can go anywhere he wants.’
