Manchester United told what to expect from Jude Bellingham transfer

Manchester United transfer target Jude Bellingham has 'heart and desire' which separates him from most other young talents, according to his Birmingham City teammate Lukas Jutkiewicz.

The 16-year-old midfielder has experienced an incredible breakthrough campaign in the Championship which has seen him establish himself as a key player in the Birmingham first-team.

Bellingham's performances have led to plenty of interest ahead of the summer transfer window with United, Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund all interested in a move.

United are interested in signing the teenager in the summer transfer window and Birmingham forward Jutkiewicz has explained why the youngster is such a special talent.

"I think his ability is there for everyone to see," he told Boyle Sports.

"I think the thing that sets him apart from a lot of other youngsters at his age that have got that ability is his heart and desire.

"The thing that I love to see when he is playing is that he is desperate to get a tackle in, desperate to close someone down and do the dirty side of the game as well. Obviously his talent shines through as well with that.

"He is a really down to earth kid, he wants to get better and better and I have no doubt that he will do that purely because the way he goes about his business. We are lucky to have him here."
