Jude Bellingham makes Manchester United transfer decision and more rumours

Jude Bellingham has rejected the chance to move to Manchester United in favour of a switch to Borussia Dortmund - according to reports.

The youngster is a target for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after breaking into the first-team at Birmingham. Bellingham is regarded as one of the most promising youngsters in the country and is set to take the next step in his career at the end of the season.

MEN Sport understand United's interest in the 16-year-old emerged in January but no formal offer was made. Bellingham was given a tour of the Carrington training complex alongside his parents back in March as the Reds attempted to convince him that a move to Old Trafford would be best for his future.

Borussia Dortmund are believed to be United's main competition to sign Bellingham and SportBild head of football, Christian Falk, claims the youngster has made the decision to move to the Bundesliga.

He told utdreport: "The strong clubs in the Bundesliga, behind Bayern, offer talented English players a chance to play, even internationally.

"Bellingham will therefore also go to Dortmund, not United. You will see. Our information is that he has chosen Borussia Dortmund."

Elsewhere, reports claim that Juventus have transfer-listed former Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey and Manchester United are believed to be interested in the Welshman.

The 29-year-old has struggled to make an impact in Italy and The Daily Mail believe the Serie A champions have decided to transfer-list the midfielder in order to cut their wage bill.

United are believed to be one of two Premier League clubs who have been alerted to his availability.

MEN Sport understand Ramsey is not a priority target for the Reds as he does not fit the profile of player Solskjaer is looking to bring to Old Trafford.

Ramsey's exorbitant wage demands are also a major stumbling block to any prospective deal.
