For any young player in the world, the prospect of signing for either Arsenal or Manchester United is a potential dream come true.

Alongside Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United are the two most historic clubs in 🐻the Premier League🌠.

But the advantage that the Gunners have over United in any potential transfer battle is that they are consistent fixtures in title races nowadays while the Red Devils are sitting in 15th place under Ruben Amorim.

Since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure in 2013, Manchester United have been stoopi🍸ng lower and lower and they have now hit rock bottom under Amorim.

But regardless, Man United can back themselves to sign mos🌟t players they set their sights on solely due to the stature of the club — having brought in one of Europe’s most gifted young centre-backs in Leny Yoro last summer as well.

The Red Devils certainly seem to, with Manchester United and Arsenal scou🐭ting Jobe ꧃Bellingham durin𒀰g Sunderland’s 3-2 win against Middlesbrough last month — a player who has caught both English giants’ eye.

Arsenal and Man United target Jobe Bellingham told he plays exactly like Jude Bellingham

Real Madrid are interested in Bellingh🃏am’s younger brother as well as Borussia Dortmund💯, which means United and Arsenal have a tall task on their hands if they wish to sign the Sunderland midfi⛦elder.

The 19-year-old is one of the best young talents in England and furthermore, Jude Bellingham could perhaps advise him follow in the same footsteps as h🍰im and head abroad after his time at the Stadium🌳 of Light draws to a close.

Speaking of Bellingham, Jamie O’Hara has claimed that Jobe Bellingham is scarily similar to hꦗis older brother as a player.

Jamie O’Hara said live on talkSPORT: “It’s scaꦏry how similar he plays to his brother. I know they’re genetically brothers but he plays so similar.”

“The way he carries the ball, it’s just so similar, it’s scary. Listen, one of them is one of the best players in the world but he’s obviously got t🤡he best potential to be a top player. How old is he, 19? Yeah.”

Jobe Bellingham has been tipped for stardom as much like his Champions League-winning sibling, he too is extremely technically gifted, a brilliant carrier of the ball and a top-class athlete with an eye for goal. The Englishman is talented to the degree that Crystal Pala🦩ce offered £20 million to🐽 sign Jobe from Sunderland but the deal did not go through.

Why Jude Bellingham could tell Jobe to reject Man United for Arsenal

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer revea🏅led Bellingham visited Mancheste🍎r United ahead of disc🐓ussions regarding a move before moving to Borussia Dortmund.

The former United boss has previously admitted :”He was in the b🌄uilding. He knew what he wanted. Jude, he was in the building, you can’t ask for a lot more ✃for a midfielder.”

“I was obviously there as a manager. Sir Alex [Ferguson] was there, Roy [Keane] should’ve been there but you weren’t. Bryan Robson was there and [Eric] Cantona was there that day wh🦩en he came to the club. We all spoke to him.”

“Of course, we sold it to him as well as we could. 🍬But, he knew what he wanted, X amount of minutes in the first-tea𝓡m. The most mature 17-year-old I’ve ever met in my life.”

The Real Madrid superstar’s decision was certainly a wise one and with Manchester United going from bad to worse since then, he could recommend his sibling to join Arsenal instead if the choice was narrowed down to both sidesꦰ.
