Expert opinion
ESPN’s Sam Tighe looks at the future of Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jobe Bellingham.
It has been an exciting start to Bellingham’s career at Borussia Dortmund. A £27m plus add-on fee was paid to rush his move through the door in time for the Club World Cup, suggesting the 20-year-old was front and center in coach Niko Kovac’s mind.
However, since the start of the 2025-26 season, he has been out, totaling just 300 minutes in all competitions, with Kovac frequently switching to the midfield combination of Marcel Sabitzer and Felix Nmecha. This led to some resentment from the Bellingham camp.
For now, he just has to be patient. Dortmund started the season very well, looking unusually strong and unbeaten in the Bundesliga. An opportunity will come at some point, so it should be wrapped and ready for spring.
Jumping to Manchester United so soon would be a huge mistake – especially as young and developing players have not exactly blossomed at Old Trafford in recent years. However, they are crying out for the kind of athleticism and energy that Bellingham brings to the midfield, so it would be understandable that the Red Devils are already monitoring this situation.
