Manchester United aren't panicking over claims Borussia Dortmund have a deal for Birmingham City whizkid Jude Bellingham.

Borussia Dortmund are understood to be in pole position to land the teenager.

They are set to break their transfer record to bring him in for £30million.

But the Manchester Evening News says United want to make a swoop to sabotage the deal with the German side.

United considered a January move for the £145-a-week teenager.

Bellingham has a scholarship contract at Birmingham until the end of next season.

England Under-17 international Bellingham, who is reportedly represented by his family, turns 17 in June and cannot officially put pen to paper on a professional contract until then.
