Through The Telegraph, Red Devils legend Bryan Robson expressed regret that Man United missed the opportunity to recruit Jude Bellingham in 2020.

Man United failed in their attempt to sign Jude Bellingham from Birmingham City in the summer of 2020. At that time, the rising star decided to move to Borussia Dortmund, a better path for his promising career. Actually, Bellingham made a name for himself in Germany before moving to Real Madrid in the summer of 2023 and became the new idol of the Bernabeu.

Bellingham has made a name for himself in 2020 and has many top clubs chasing his signature, including Man United. The Red Devils’ negotiations with the Three Lions star were led by former director of football John Murtough, who was accompanied by legends Sir Alex Ferguson, Eric Cantona and Bryan Robson.

“It’s really disappointing,” Robson told The Telegraph. “We were at Carrington and Sir Alex Ferguson got there a little earlier than me, but Eric and I met Jude and his parents and had a chat.

” The fact that Jude will sign for Man United is really promising …But it’s terrible that he signed for Borussia Dortmund! We thought we had him in our pocket!”
