Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have revealed main reason behind Jude Bellingham failed Man United move, MySportDab reports.
The player opted for a move to Borussia Dortmund instead of joining Manchester United which was almost close to happening.
Jude Bellingham today is with Real Madrid and doing so well that he is in contention for Laliga highest goal scorer this season despite being a midfield player.
Those at Old Trafford were close to making the move happen when the player was still under Birmingham City in the Championship.
Then Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was manager at Old Trafford and he pushed to make the move happen then but a lot was involved concerning the deal.
There were demands made concerning the player who was getting more playing time despite knowing he was still a teenager at 17.
The player did visit Old Trafford and talks happened with Sir Alex Ferguson getting himself involved with the whole thing which ended up not happening.
According to Fabrizio Romano, he confirmed how the situation played put with comments from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer during his interview.
Here Is What Was Said:
“Jude Bellingham visited us at Man United, yes. Sir Alex was also there”.
“Jude wanted certain amount of minutes in the first team.
“He was 17 at the time… and he was the most mature 17 year old I’ve ever met, he had it all planned out”.
The move to Manchester United wasn’t seen as the best option with Borussia Dortmund getting the opportunity to sign him at a lower fee.
The move eventually paid off for Bellingham who had all the playing time and was able to develop well into a mature player today.
Manchester United missed out on Jude Bellingham move and Real Madrid are the side benefiting from the whole thing despite paying a record fee for the midfield player.
