Borussia Dortmund fear they've lost the race for Birmingham City teen Jude Bellingham to Manchester United.

The Bleacher Report reports the involvement of Sir Alex Ferguson has had an effect.

Dortmund are now worried they may miss out on one of the top targets in the summer.

They had felt confident prior to the coronavirus crisis but must now wait until the next round of talks.

United have played their trump card in the shape of their legendary manager Ferguson.

The Red Devils invited the youngster and his parents to their training ground at Carrington, who left in a chipper mood.

That is because it was Fergie giving the tour, and his voice has weight in the Premier League.
