Former Chelsea and Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho believes Jude Bellingham is destined to light up Euro 2024 - even if he expects England to fall short in Germany
Jose Mourinho has tipped Portugal to win Euro 2024 - and he reckons Jude Bellingham will be crowned as the tournament's top player.
Gareth Southgate 's men are amongst the favourites to win the tournament despite a poor showing in their final tune-up match against Iceland last week. And although Mourinho reckons England will make it to the final, he has tipped his home nation to win the Euros. Explaining his decision, Mourinho says: " surprise team is anyone outside of Portugal, France and England because I think these three are the favourites. For me, anyone who comes outside these three, even countries outside these with stature, like Germany ."
The Los Blancos superstar, 20, played an influential role as Carlo Ancelotti 's team won both La Liga and the Champions League last season. Bellingham scored 19 league goals in total for Real, who won the domestic crown at a canter.The newly minted La Liga player of the season is expected to play a prominent role for England at the Euros, too, after missing last week's final friendly matches.
