United have already submitted a £25m bid for the 16-year-old, but Arsenal are more likely to land the youngster, claimed transfer expert Duncan Castles.
“[Borussia] Dortmund are one of the clubs who have been scouting Bellingham from Birmingham City,” Castles said on the Transfer Window podcast.
“They have competition from Arsenal. Now I wouldn’t expect Arsenal to be able to spend that money now.
“I think Birmingham City’s stance on this is one where Arsenal might potentially be able to structure a deal, in that Birmingham City are ready to sell at that price or a price above it, but they want to retain the player for the next 18 months.”

Arsenal stance on Aubameyang sale to Barcelona
Barcelona are interested in signing Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on loan, after it was revealed that Luis Suarez faces up to four months on the sidelines through injury.
But, Arsenal have reacted angrily to Barcelona’s audacious transfer stance, claimed Goal.
The Gunners are still hopeful of keeping the striker beyond his current contract, which expires at the end of next season.
The forward recently addressed speculation over his future, saying: “People like making up stories and they should focus on what's happening on the pitch. They talk too much and it does my head in! I am the Arsenal captain. I love this club.”
