Man United are keen on signing Jobe Bellingham, the younger brother of Jude.

Manchester United have always thrived when signing younger players and giving them a chance to showcase their talents at the highest level.

That transfer strategy has worked far better than marquee signings - particularly lately.

Erik ten Hag should adopt this mantra moving forward.

Not only do these younger players perform with less pressure, but they can also be moulded into exactly the sort of style player that the dutchman likes to work with.

The latest player to be linked with an Old Trafford switch is Jobe Bellingham, Jude's younger brother.

It's @Sam_c345 with the scoop.

He's a specialist on United news, working with the hugely popular 'The United Stand'.

He tweeted his latest information last night.

Apparently, United hold a 'keen interest' in the 18-year-old midfielder, who they believe will outshine Jude.

Sources state that United 'want to lead the pack' if Jobe does leave his current club Sunderland, while they have sent people to watch him over the 'next days'.

Sam also states that United have interest in Amadou Onana, Aurelian Tchouameni and Gavi - even if they're long shots.

The pressure is already increased on him purely due to the fact that he is Jude's brother.

So far, he's living up to the hype for an excellent Sunderland side.

It goes without saying that playing for United at the Theatre of Dreams is another level entirely.

Jobe isn't someone who'd come in and expect to make an instant impact straight away, rather, he'd likely be given some time to settle in, adjust to the level and then start to be drip-fed more and more minutes.

It's also worth factoring in what Jobe wants.

There can be no doubt that more sides will be looking to sign Bellingham and United is hardly the dream destination right now.

It could prove quite difficult to bring him in.
