Manchester United 'could miss out on Jude Bellingham deal'

Manchester United are reportedly facing the possibility of missing out on a deal for Birmingham City teenager Jude Bellingham during this summer's transfer window.

The Red Devils have been strongly linked with the 16-year-old, who has scored four times and contributed three assists in 32 Championship appearances this season.

Bellingham has allegedly already been shown around United's training ground as they attempt to tie up a deal for the teenager ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

However, according to ESPN, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are facing the possibility of missing out on a deal for the Englishman due to Birmingham's demands.

The report claims that the Championship side are keen to receive the majority of a £20m fee up front, but United want to spread out the payment in various instalments, leading to a break in negotiations.

Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal are also said to be in the hunt for the midfielder's signature.
