"You know, I was disappointed because myself, Sir Alex and Eric Cantona all met Jude when he spoke to United, and so we thought we'd probably get him because of that meeting with the three of us at Carrington. I was really disappointed when he went to Germany but the kid's done great. I mean, he's done it at the highest level with Real Madrid and he is a top player,"
"I think I'd have him alongside one of the other midfield players [now at United] because I think he can do that role and he has got a bit of the defensive responsibility."
Manchester United engaged in talks to sign Jude Bellingham before his 2020 move to Borussia Dortmund. Robson met Bellingham at Carrington alongside Sir Alex Ferguson and Eric Cantona with the player's family in attendance. Bellingham chose Borussia Dortmund, developed into a top midfielder and earned a transfer to Real Madrid after strong performances in Germany. Robson said he was disappointed that Bellingham went to Germany but praised his achievements at the highest level. Robson believes Bellingham would suit Manchester United's midfield, offering both attacking ability and defensive responsibility alongside existing United midfielders.
