Man United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo believes England teammate Jude Bellingham is a contender for the 2024 Ballon d’Or.
The Real Madrid star has had an impressive debut season in the Spanish capital, emerging as LaLiga player of the season as Madrid strolled to win a record-extending title.
Bellingham also won the champions League with Carlo Ancelotti’s side as they eye more trophies ahead in the new season.
He has been tipped as one of the contenders of this year’s Ballon d’Or and Mainoo agrees.
“Yeah definitely [on whether Bellingham could the Ballon d’Or]. I mean everyone knows how great of a player he is. We see it every day in training here,” he said at an England presser ahead of their game against Denmark.
“He’s such a nice guy as well. He’s demanding. He has high standards that he sets. To play with him is great. it’s rightly so he’s a contender for the Ballon d’Or.”
The 19-year-old made his competitive England debut against Serbia after being introduced in the 86th minute for Jude Bellingham who scored the winning goal for the Three Lions on Sunday.
