Manchester United are now odds-on to secure the signing of Birmingham City youngster Jude Bellingham this summer.
Plans are already in place at Old Trafford regarding the upcoming summer window, and the MEN understands that Bellingham was given a tour of United's Carrington training complex last week.
The MEN also understands that the 16-year-old, who has started 27 games in the Championship this season, scoring four goals, has held talks with both Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea over a move in the summer.
But according to the latest odds from bookmaker Paddy Power, United are the 4/5 favourites to secure the youngster's signature in the upcoming window.
Borussia Dortmund (3/1) are the next most likely to sign Bellingham, ahead Premier League rivals Chelsea (4/1) and Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, who are out at 7/1.
While the midfielder is also rated at 20/1 to make it into England’s Euro 2021 squad, after this year’s tournament was postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
United view midfield as one of their key areas to strengthen in the summer and also have an interest in Aston Villa's Jack Grealish and Leicester City playmaker James Maddison.
