Manchester United could make a stunning move for Jude Bellingham this summer if the ownership of the club changes, it has been claimed.

Bellingham, 19, has been linked with a number of top clubs across Europe after continuing to impress for Borussia Dortmund this season.

The midfielder has scored 10 goals and provided six assists in all competitions for Dortmund to put them within touching distance of the top of the Bundesliga table.

Dortmund are currently second but are only behind leaders Bayern Munich on goal difference, with the defending champions' dominance of German football under serious threat this season.

Dortmund are keen to keep Bellingham and are believed to have slapped a €150m (£132m) price tag on the England international, who is under contract with the club until 2025.

However, the expectation is that Bellingham will move on this summer, with a return to English football looking increasingly likely.

Liverpool are thought to be at the front of the queue to sign Bellingham, while Real Madrid and Manchester City have also been linked with the midfielder.

Could Man Utd bid for Bellingham?

Manchester United could emerge as serious contenders for his signature if the club is sold, a report in The Athletic has claimed.

United's owners, the Glazer family, are exploring a potential sale of the club, with a soft deadline for bids passing last Friday.

British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his petrochemicals firm Ineos bid for majority ownership of the Premier League club, Qatari investor Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani also tabled a bid.

The Athletic report, which credits both David Ornstein and Mario Cortegana, claims United could make a move for Bellingham if the club is sold before the summer window.

"Not so long ago, United would have been viewed as outsiders for Bellingham but things are changing in the red half of Manchester," it read.

"If a sale happens in the coming weeks, don't rule out United being the team to have the money to do this deal.

"Whether or not that is a move Bellingham wants remains to be seen."
