It is reported that Manchester United and Dortmund joined the ranks of Sunderland midfielder Job Bellingham. According to reports, Job Bellingham was recommended by Dortmund's scout in the UK, Daniel Dodds, brother of Weconby Rangers coach Mike Dodds. Dodds has coached Job Bellingham at Birmingham City and Sunderland, and has a good relationship with the Bellingham family.

Therefore, Job - may follow in the footsteps of his elder brother Jude, who performed well at Dortmund before joining Real Madrid in 2023. Manchester United also conducted an inspection of Job, hoping that history will not repeat itself, as Zude Bellingham rejected the opportunity to join Old Trafford in 2020 and chose Dortmund. The England star has visited Manchester United's Carrington training base and met Sir Ferguson, Cantona and Brian Robson. Zude Bellingham made 132 appearances for Dortmund before joining Real Madrid, with the transfer fee likely to be as high as £115 million.

Previously, he grew up at the Birmingham youth training camp, where his younger brother Job Bellingham also spent his youth career. Job Bellingham made 26 appearances for Birmingham before joining the Championship team Sunderland. Since the transfer in June 2023, the 19-year-old has made 87 appearances for Sunderland, scoring 11 goals and assisting four times. In addition, Job Bellingham is expected to add his 40 appearances this season when Sunderland enters the Championship play-offs.
