Gary Lineker makes Manchester United transfer point amid Jude Bellingham claim

20.06.2023 - 16:07 manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Gary Lineker has named Manchester United as one of the three clubs with the greatest pulling power in world football. According to Forbes, United rank as the second-most valuable club in the world, just behind Real Madrid.

Barcelona are third. United’s pulling power was tested last year amid the absence of Champions League football. They splashed out £225m last summer as Erik ten Hag looked to make his mark at the club.

Barcelona have been hampered by financial troubles in recent years, having to sell off club assets to stay within La Liga cash rules.

They are again expected to sell a number of high-profile players this summer.

First, we probably need to say that while there were suggestions that some English clubs might be getting involved in the Jude Bellingham sweepstakes, reports have suggested that Real Madrid always had a pretty healthy advantage there. Ad So putting the boy from Birmingham aside, we’re now into what is essentially the final week of June and yet only one of the Premier League’s big seven (yes Newcastle, you are in the club now) have made an addition to their midfield areas with Liverpool moving very quickly for what now seems a very shrewd bit of business in securing Alexis Mac Allister.
