According to the latest reports, Erling Haaland wants to secure a move to Manchester United.
Red Bull Salzburg have dropped out of the Champions League and Haaland immediately flew out to Borussia Dortmund to discuss a move with the Bundesliga side.
A starting spot is guaranteed at BVB but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s influence is pulling him towards considering an Old Trafford switch. Haaland would have to compete against the likes of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood for a spot in the first team.
The 19-year-old has excelled at top level this season, scoring 28 goals in 22 appearances. He was managed by Ole Solskjaer at Molde before switching to Salzburg last January. Reports claim United could sign him out for as low as £20m.
When asked how the current crop of players would respond to another new arrival, Solskjaer said, “I was a player here for 11 years and I can’t tell you how many strikers we signed that were supposedly going to take my place in the team or in the squad.

“That’s the challenge of being at Manchester United. You are never, ever guaranteed to play every game unless you perform to the absolute best of your ability. That’s down to Marcus, in the end, but what I would say is that he wants this squad to be as strong as possible. We all want to win games, we all want to win trophies and you don’t do that with 11 players.”
