Bellingham the best player in England’s history? The former Manchester United defender reveals why it’s real

Can Jude Bellingham become the best English footballer of all time? That’s obviously a very difficult question at the moment, but according to the former Manchester United defender, it’s realistic. What did Gary Neville say about the Real Madrid signing?

He was already showing great talent in the Borussia Dortmund jersey, where he was clearly the biggest star after the departure of Erling Haaland.

He spent a total of three seasons with the Bundesliga side, recording a total of 132 competitive starts, 24 goals and 25 assists. He won the German Cup in 2020/21, and in 2022/23 he was the best player of the year.

Jude Bellingham is currently one of the biggest stars of the England national team, if not the biggest. And it’s no wonder that Real Madrid paid Dortmund €103 million for his footballing ability in the last transfer window.

And it is at the club from the Spanish capital that the 20-year-old superstar is shining. And that’s as much by his performance on the pitch itself. The stats speak in his favour, too, as he has scored six goals and assisted one in his seven competitive games so far.

Bellingham is already paying off for Real. Moreover, the sum of 103 million euros is actually nothing special or perhaps excessive in this day and age, even for such a talented player.

Will Bellingham become the best English footballer of all time?

The young England international has become an absolutely key player at Real Madrid. He is rightly talked about as one of the absolute biggest stars in world football. In short, Bellingham has huge potential and is clearly a difference maker.

But does he have what it takes to become the greatest English footballer of all time? According to the former Manchester United defender, it’s realistic.

“If Bellingham keeps this up, he could become the best English footballer of all time,” said Gary Neville in an interview with MARCA newspaper.

“He is extremely talented and has a great temperament. He always anticipates what is going to happen next. His start to the season with Real Madrid and England speaks to the fact that he is a player on a completely different level. He is a beauty to watch,” concluded the former Red Devils player.
