Man Utd are one of two clubs hoping to do a deal for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jobe Bellingham in the winter transfer market, according to reports.<\/p>\n
Bellingham, who is the brother of Real Madrid superstar Jude, has struggled to make the desired impact at Dortmund following a \u00a327m summer transfer from Sunderland.<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old has only started two Bundesliga matches for Dortmund so far this season with Bellingham being taken off at half-time in one of those fixtures against St Pauli.<\/p>\n
His father, Mark Bellingham, went to speak to\u00a0Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl in the tunnel at half-time to get an explanation for his son\u2019s withdrawal in a match they were leading 1-0.<\/p>\n
England legend Sir Geoff Hurst called Bellingham\u2019s dad\u2019s actions \u201can\u00a0absolute disgrace\u201d<\/a> and warned that he must change his behaviour.<\/p>\n Dortmund managing director Lars Ricken attempted to play down the incident but hinted that a similar thing will not happen again.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Man Utd legends \u2018approached\u2019 by UAE-based consortium as Glazers set out terms for deal<\/a><\/p>\n Ricken told\u00a0Sky90 \u2013 The Football Debate: \u201cWe got Jobe Bellingham because we really built a relationship of trust with the parents over the years. Now the family flew in especially for their son\u2019s first Bundesliga game and wanted to meet Jobe after the game.<\/p>\n \u201cThey stood in the hallway to the locker room and had an emotional conversation with Sebastian, which, however, is not a problem at all given this relationship.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the future though, we will ensure that players, coaches, and any officials have access to the locker room area, so that we no longer get into trouble by commenting on such news.<\/p>\n \u201cBut today everything has been resolved \u2013 no drama.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE MAN UTD COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 And now there are rumours that both Bellingham and Dortmund could be seeking to move on from their new relationship after only a few months.<\/p>\n German newspaper Bild claim that<\/a> Man Utd<\/a> and Crystal Palace are \u2018lurking\u2019 for Bellingham ahead of a potential move in the winter transfer market.<\/p>\n Other reports have insisted that Bellingham is \u2018increasingly frustrated with his limited playing time\u2019 but Bild claim he is \u2018not wasting any thought on this scenario (currently) and continue to see the younger brother of superstar Jude (23\/Real Madrid) as a future asset.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018The report adds: \u2018United\u2019s coach R\u00faben Amorim (40) is said to be a fan of the \u201cMini-Bellingham\u201d because his physical robustness and playing style would fit perfectly into his system.<\/p>\n \u2018Should [Niko] Kovac remain true to his performance principle and allow the previously rather weak Jobe to continue to stew on the bench, this vexed topic will certainly become even more explosive in the coming weeks before the winter break.\u2019<\/p>\n
