Manchester United will have to up their cash offer for Jude Bellingham to sign the starlet from Birmingham City.

The 16-year-old is a key target for the Red Devils this summer.

The midfielder will be put into Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first team squad despite his tender age if he signs.

ESPN is suggesting that Birmingham are willing to sell the player, given their financial problems.

But they want a deal that has more cash up front, while United were willing to offer more money through instalments and future incentives.

Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea and Arsenal are among the other teams that want to secure the player.
