Jude Bellingham delivered a sarcastic response when asked by a Manchester United fan if he would be coming to Old Trafford.
The 19-year-old midfielder looks set to have his pick of clubs when deciding his next move, as was the case with his former team-mate Erling Haaland, as Liverpool and the rest of Europe's elite scramble to get a deal over the line.
Whichever club manages to sign the England international will have pulled off a major transfer coup, acquiring an individual with the potential to be a central midfield figure for at least the next decade. Liverpool are strong admirers of Bellingham and appear to be pulling out all the stops to bring him to Merseyside, as highlighted by Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold's desire to build a strong relationship with the player during the World Cup in Qatar.

Jurgen Klopp's side are not the only Premier League team chasing the Birmingham City academy graduate, though, with Chelsea and Manchester City expected to push for Bellingham. A latest report by the Manchester Evening News has suggested the Red Devils are also ready to re-enter the race for the teenager, who they first attempted to recruit back in 2020 prior to his move to Borussia Dortmund, with senior sources at Old Trafford of the view the England international could 'create history' at the club.
The MEN add Erik ten Hag has told confidants that if he could sign any player in the world it would be the talented midfielder. The United boss is believed to have watched Dortmund's matches this season to monitor Bellingham's development amid his likely transfer exit.
Bellingham appears to have already answered whether or not United is a likely next destination, however, as shown in a video below. Asked by a fan if he is United-bound, the talented youngster responded 'No. Don't be silly!' before walking away.
