In a recent interview, the former Borussia Dortmund midfielder admitted he is letting his manager down with the struggles he is having trying to learn Spanish.

Bellingham joined Los Blancos in a move worth €103 million (R2 million) at the start of the campaign and has hit the ground running, having contributed to 19 goals in just 17 appearances so far.

Off the field, however, the ex-Birmingham City talent is battling with the native language, saying he knows Ancelotti has been disappointed with him despite the form is experiencing.

"I've had a ferocious commitment to improving myself with hard work, but the credit goes to coach Ancelotti who has found the right position for me, giving me more freedom, so I'm flying now," he told Tuttosport.

"However, I know I am disappointing him in one aspect.

"I still don't speak Spanish. I am sorry but I am finding obstacles I didn't expect with this language.

"I admit it's difficult for me, but I promise maximum commitment."

Bellingham will claim the 2023 Golden Boy award in Turin on Monday night, with the midfielder proud to be following in Wayne Rooney and Raheem Sterling's footsteps.

"It's fantastic, it's an extraordinary result. I am glad of it and I thank all the jurors who voted for me," he added.
