Bellingham Was Right To Choose BvB And Real Madrid Over MUFC – Gary Neville

Real Madrid midfielder, Jude Bellingham has been praised by Gary Neville for ignoring his magic Manchester United transfer advice. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, looking back, it really looks like a poor advice he gave the youngman during the past transfer windows, and he is glad Jude ignored him.

Neville added that Bellingham deserves nothing but praise for choosing both BvB and Real Madrid over MUFC.

His words, “I’ve spoken to a couple of players before they’ve come here and said ‘you’ll never regret it, it’s a magic football club’. But I have to say looking back, it looks like pretty poor advice with what’s happened to them since they’ve come and it’s really sad. They would have thrived at other clubs. Other players who have chosen other clubs have gone on to be really successful.

You think of Jude Bellingham, and I think of that quite a lot, when he walks into the boardroom here at Man United, United have agreed a fee with Birmingham, and so have Dortmund. He has a choice between Dortmund and United. And somehow that kid, well done to him, chose Borussia Dortmund, and he’s now one of the greatest players in the world, one of the greatest English talents. What would have happened to him if he’d come here? I don’t know, maybe he would have been a success because he’s that good. I’m not so sure in the current environment and culture and what’s been happening.”

WOW.
