MANCHESTER UNITED are ready to join the battle for Jude Bellingham.
And they are prepared to seal a Premier League and British transfer record deal this summer.
Bellingham, 19, is arguably the hottest property on the market after becoming a star player for Borussia Dortmund and England.
The ace has already clocked up 164 club games and 22 international caps.
And after leaving Birmingham for Dortmund in 2020, Bellingham is now expected to return to his homeland this summer.
Liverpool are thought to be leading the race as Jurgen Klopp plans an overhaul of his midfield.
