Manchester United and Erik ten Hag have been asked to send a “big message” to their rivals by sabotaging Liverpool’s transfer plans.
That is the headline in the Mirror (UK) today (March 30) when Manchester United legend Gary Pallister wants to make his old team’s dream of winning the Premier League come true, by urging the “red devils” to buy Jude Bellingham, who is Liverpool’s No. 1 target in this summer’s transfer window.
As well as wanting to sign Tottenham striker Harry Kane this summer, Erik ten Hag is among a number of Premier League managers eager to sign Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham. Old Trafford legend Gary Pallister believes Jude Bellingham will turn Manchester United into title contenders.
England midfielder Jude Bellingham is expected to leave Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund after this season ends. In addition to MU, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Liverpool are also competing to sign the 19-year-old player worth 120 million pounds.
But former United defender Pallister believes “landing Bellingham at Old Trafford” will immediately put Erik Ten Hag’s men in the Premier League title contenders.
Gary Pallister said: “The person everyone is looking for, is obviously Jude Bellingham. I think wherever he goes, it’s going to give that club a big boost, because everyone wants him. Technically, Jude Bellingham is excellent.
And I think every club wants to let people know that they want Jude Bellingham at their club. So the thing is, Manchester United is in a bit of a cloud right now because we’re not sure what will happen with the club auctions that are still going on, and who (the new owners of MU) will bear the blame. liability in the next transfer period.
I would like to add, United also need a striker. If they can bring in either of the top two targets next season, it will make United even more dangerous. If MU has more Bellingham, it will be great. If United get them then I think it sends a big message to the rest of the Premier League that Manchester United can compete again with the best.”
One player who could leave Old Trafford this summer is the club’s captain and centre-back Harry Maguire. Maguire has lost his regular place this season and he will decide his future at the end of the season. Pallister praised the way Maguire handled his predicament and said the 30-year-old will face a big decision in the summer.
“I think Harry Maguire is very professional in the way he handles matters,” Pallister told aceodds.com, “He has to decide his own future. If Maguire wants to stay, then I’m sure Ten Hag will be happy because he’s an excellent centre-back.”
