Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd bid Gakpo, Arsenal face Saka raid, Chelsea eyes Griezmann

Manchester United have been told to push to sign Jude Bellingham by Sven-Goran Eriksson due to similarities between the Borussia Dortmund star and club legend Paul Scholes.

Bellingham has been heavily linked with a move away from Signal Iduna Park at the end of the season, with his transfer value skyrocketing over the winter due to impressive performances for England in the Champions League world.

Liverpool, Manchester City and the Real Madrid region are all said to be interested in the 19-year-old, although Eriksson believes the Red Devils should do their utmost to sign the midfielder. He said: "Jude Bellingham seems to have no nerves at all and has all the confidence in the world.

"He can dribble in difficult situations and he's an elegant player, he can get away with the ball. I really like Bellingham. Bellingham reminds me of Paul Scholes, he can dribble, pass and score goals. They're not exactly the same player, but if I had to compare him to someone I wouldn't say Frank Lampard or Steven Gerrard, he reminds me more of Paul Scholes."
