Manchester United are struggling to land Birmingham City teen Jude Bellingham.

The 16-year-old has been on the Red Devils' radar all season, having burst on to the scene at Birmingham back in August.

But the Mirror says the midfielder's father Mark believes that a move to Borussia Dortmund would be better for Jude's "football education".

The player's camp are keen for him to continue getting regular exposure to first-team football, even after stepping up a level.

Since making his senior Blues debut in the League Cup back in August, Bellingham has racked up 35 appearances in total for Pep Clotet's side - despite not turning 17 until later this month.
