Question about this excellent young player. How did a lad born in the Midlands end up playing in Germany?

Think at 16 he had United and Dortmand willing to pay big money for him. He chose Dortmsnd, presumably because United were a mess and he likely thought he’d get more game time there. Good move, would love to see him back though.

Fair play to the lad for backing himself to go abroad at a young age to prove himself over the “easy” option of moving to Manchester

Bellingham will be a mainstay of the England set-up for many years to come, and his maturity for a 19 year old is incredible.

Dortmund offered him a better route to European football quite simply.

Utd aren't the club they were under Fergie, they also had Pogba etc there so getting first team match time was going to be limited.

He’ll be at City before long.
