Manchester United are willing to wait until the summer to sign Birmingham City teen Jude Bellingham.

The London Evening Standard says United have put together a £20million package to land Bellingham, but any move for the Birmingham City starlet will wait until the summer.

The 16-year-old is considered a perfect fit for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's cultural reboot at Old Trafford, but United's priority on deadline day is to bring in an emergency striker.

It is believed Birmingham will demand more for their most prized asset, who is also a target for Borussia Dortmund and a host of clubs around Europe.

United are desperate to win the race for the midfielder's signature. It's believed they have proposed a deal rising up to £20m with an up-front fee of £8.5m.

A further £5m would be payable after 50 appearances and £2m for his first goal.

A final add-on of £4.5m would be dependent on United qualifying for the Champions League.
