Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney has come out to tip Jude Bellingham to win the Ballon d’Or in the nearest future. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, it is obvious that we are almost at the cycle where Messi and Ronaldo dominated the world of football, so he believes Bellingham can be at the forefront of the next generation of stars that will take over.
Rooney added that if Jude keeps up his current performance with Real Madrid, he can win the Ballon d’Or very soon.
His words, “If he keeps doing what he’s doing then why not? Again we’ve gone through that cycle of Messi and Ronaldo where they’ve dominated that. I’m sure there will be five or six players fighting to try and win the next one. I’m sure if he keeps doing what he’s doing he’ll be right up there.
It’s great to see a young English lad take the opportunity to go and play abroad, be brave, he did really well in Germany and is now at one of the biggest club in the world and really shining. I’m really pleased for him and hopefully he can take that into the Euros and help us be successful.”
WOW.
