Manchester United s reinforcement of midfielder was rejected by Bellingham

There are various signs that the Red Devils and Manchester United's midfield reinforcement plan will undergo major changes.

According to the latest report from England's authoritative media "Mirror", Dortmund midfielder Job Bellingham (the younger brother of Real Madrid general Bellingham), who was previously considered a potential signing by the Red Devils, has made it clear that he has no interest in Manchester United. This not only makes Manchester United lose face, but also puts Manchester United's recruitment work into an instant deadlock. In desperation, Manchester United had to turn its attention to the 25-year-old England midfielder Gallagher.

The reason why Bellingham rejected Manchester United is simple because Manchester United is now not qualified to play in the Champions League. This 20-year-old talented midfielder from England is in the midst of a rapid rise in his career and has a very clear pursuit of competition level. Although Manchester United is actively exploring the possibility of loaning Bellingham, hoping to use the strength of this talented new star to improve the competitiveness of the midfield, the fact that Manchester United coached by Amorim has missed the Champions League this season has become the biggest obstacle to cooperation between the two parties.

For Bellingham, the Champions League stage is not only an important platform to test his own strength, but also a key way to achieve a breakthrough in his personal career. Therefore, he made it clear that if he leaves Dortmund, he will only choose a club that can provide top European competition qualifications.

After the pursuit of Bellingham was blocked, Manchester United quickly targeted Atletico Madrid midfielder Connor Gallagher. The 24-year-old England international is currently facing the dilemma of insufficient playing time. Since September this year, Gallagher has struggled to get a starting position in the tactical system of coach Simeone, and has been almost reduced to a useless role. His long-term substitute status has affected his competitive state to a certain extent. For Gallagher, stable playing time is crucial, as he needs to strive for inclusion in England's World Cup squad through consistent performance.

From Manchester United's perspective, introducing Gallagher has many advantages. First of all, Gallagher is a local player in England and can adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League and Manchester United's tactical system more quickly, reducing running-in costs. Secondly, Gallagher is in his prime, has strong competitive ability and development potential, and can quickly inject fresh blood into Manchester United's midfield and improve the overall strength of the team. Furthermore, Gallagher's current situation makes him very willing to join Manchester United, and the probability of successful negotiations between the two parties will be relatively higher.

However, if Manchester United wants to successfully sign Gallagher, I am afraid that it will have to prepare for a lot of bleeding. It is reported that Atletico Madrid's current psychological price is 60 million euros, which seems a bit expensive and may be scared away. Now it depends on whether Manchester United is willing to spend the money.
