REVEALED: Solskjaer sees Bellingham as instant Man Utd first teamer

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has plans of throwing Jude Bellingham immediately into his first team.

United are closing on a £30m deal for the 16 year-old Birmingham City midfielder.

Sky Sports says Solskjaer wants to throw Bellingham into first-team contention if they beat out competition from the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea.

The club are confident that they can get the deal done, with a source telling The Sun: "We felt that he was blown away with what he was shown and what was said to him by all.

"We believe he was impressed with what we can offer. We have a duty of care to young players and want to develop them."
