Manchester United are reportedly preparing an ambitious January move for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jobe Bellingham, the younger brother of Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham. At just 19, Jobe has already made waves in Germany with his calmness on the ball, technical brilliance, and growing influence in the Bundesliga.
Sources inside Old Trafford reveal that manager Rúben Amorim has identified Bellingham as a key target to strengthen United’s midfield with youthful energy and vision. The Portuguese boss is said to admire Jobe’s composure, work ethic, and tactical maturity — qualities that have made him one of the most exciting young English talents abroad.
Bellingham joined Dortmund from Sunderland and has quickly adapted to the club’s demanding style, following in his brother’s footsteps while establishing his own identity. His performances this season have been eye-catching: clever passing, confident dribbles, and a natural ability to link midfield to attack. Amorim reportedly sees him as the ideal complement to Kobbie Mainoo, forming a dynamic, future-proof duo capable of leading United’s midfield for years to come.
United’s scouting department has been tracking Jobe for months, with Amorim now pushing the board to make a formal approach in the upcoming January transfer window. While Dortmund are under no pressure to sell, United are prepared to test their resolve with an offer in the region of £35–40 million, plus performance-related bonuses.
The move would signal United’s renewed focus on developing youth and long-term potential, rather than relying solely on marquee signings. A club insider commented, “Amorim wants hunger, not hype — players who can grow into United legends. Jobe fits that vision perfectly.”
For Bellingham, a return to England — especially to a club with United’s global stature — could be a tempting next step. However, Dortmund are renowned for nurturing young talents, and convincing them to part with another Bellingham may take more than just a big offer.
Still, the ambition is clear: United want to rebuild around youth, energy, and passion. And if Amorim gets his way, Jobe Bellingham could soon be walking through the doors of Old Trafford, ready to write his own story — not as Jude’s brother, but as United’s next great midfielder.
