Firstly, How often have teenagers not from the United academy got the minutes Bellingham wanted?
Second, how many minutes did James get for United as compared to Bellingham in his first season at Dortmund?
Furthermore stop using hindsight to claim Bellingham would have got the minutes he wanted. The midfield department also had Pogba, Bruno and Matic. It's fallacious to pretend at that stage in his career Jude was going to start as much as those 5.
Firstly, are you forgetting how much Pogba and Matic were unavailable during that period through injury?
Are you forgetting this was during covid football where every rubbish United performance was blamed on players being tired and us unable to rotate.
Bruno also doesnt play in the position Bellingham played in at the time so no relevance mentioning him.
Also think you need to probably reflect on your usage of the word hindsight….
How many teenagers not from our academy got minutes ? I don’t know, off the top
Of my head the following teenagers, some with barely even a season of first team football.
Luke Shaw, Antony Martial, Alejandro Garnacho, Rafael Da Silva, Fabio Da Silva, Wayne Rooney.
Dan James got 3,000 minutes in his first season here. Jude Bellingham got 2,800 minutes in his first season at Dortmund.
Now move some goalposts and come back with some other stuff..
Genuinely don’t know why people are choosing to die on this hill. Ole fecked up with Bellingham it’s that simple. It’s okay. It happens. It doesn’t take away from the great things he did at this club as a player. But we know management wasn’t his strong point and neither was recruiting players.
