Birmingham City starlet Jude Bellingham has reportedly chosen to make the move to Borussia Dortmund despite the concrete interest from Manchester United.
Earlier this year, the 16-year-old was given a tour of United's training ground where he also got the chance to meet Ed Woodward and the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson.
At that point, it was claimed that United were the favourites to sign him but over the past few months, Dortmund have leapfrogged the Red Devils in the player's pursuit.
According to ESPN, the assurance of regular first-team football has convinced Bellingham to join Dortmund and a permanent transfer could be finalised by the end of the month.
Bellingham has yet to sign a professional contract with the Blues but Dortmund are still prepared to pay a fee of around £20m to the west Midlands outfit for his services.
The teenager has been a regular in the Blues' plans since his debut in August. He has featured in every midfield position this term and has also played as the main striker on one occasion.
