Jude Bellingham spotted at LEAGUE TWO stadium for bizarre friendly involving Mason Greenwood’s new club

JUDE BELLINGHAM waved at fans as he rocked up at Bradford's Valley Parade to watch his little brother Jobe in action.

England superstar Bellingham, 21, is his younger sibling's biggest supporter.

As he is still on holiday following the Three Lions' run to the Euro 2024, the Real Madrid midfielder headed back to home soil to catch some friendly action.

Jobe's Sunderland took on Marseille on Saturday afternoon.

Bizarrely the match took place at Valley Parade, rather than at the Black Cats' Stadium of Light home.

Bellingham beamed from the stands as he clapped Jobe and Co onto the pitch.

He sat alongside mum Denise and Mark as he took in the action, with his brother in Sunderland's starting line-up.

The match was organised to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the death of Black Cats chief Kyril Louis-Dreyfus' father Robert, who owned Marseille.

Jobe played 80 minutes as Sunderland drew 2-2 with Roberto De Zerbi's side in Yorkshire.

Faris Moumbagna gave Marseille the lead on 27 minutes, with Dennis Cirkin levelling shortly after half-time.

Ismael Kone restored the Ligue 1 outfit's lead, only for Adil Aouchiche's late penalty to ensure a share of the spoils.

One man that was not involved at Valley Parade was new Marseille signing Mason Greenwood.

The Bradford-born forward was denied a homecoming after suffering a "muscle lesion", according to reports in France.

It is understood there were also concerns from club officials over Greenwood's "complicated return" to England.

The striker has not played in the UK since January 2022, when he was arrested following allegations of attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour towards a woman.

Charges were dropped the following year, but Manchester United officials decided it would be best for him to continue his career elsewhere.
