Jude Bellignham identified a Manchester United legend as his major influence in football

Real Madrid’s English player Jude Bellignham has become one of the best players in the world nowadays, and his signing for the Spanish team seems to have been one of the best operation’s in the club’s history given the numbers he has delivered since he joined the Madrilean institution in the summer for €103 million from Borussia Dortmund.

In this sense, despite he joined the German side very early in his career being only 18 years old from Birmingham City, he still remembers his first steps in English football with the Bluenoses, where he completed 44 games scoring 4 goals and giving two assists when he was scarcely started to blossom as a top rising star.

In this respect, he remembered the first steps in his career with the English football site The Athletic, and made a shocking revelation about the influences he had in his first years as a football player, since he confessed that a Manchester United legend had been the main influence in his career.

He would try to overtake his idol in Euro 2024

Following this sources, the English striker Wayne Rooney would have been a real icon for Jude Bellingham in the start of his football career and he would be ready to follow his steps in English football, as the Real Madrid star has already been decisive for the Three Lions and will try to achieve the title that Rooney could never win with the English national team in the next Euro 2024.
