There was a lot of disappointment at Old Trafford when they failed to sign Erling Haaland when he was trashing RB Salzburg, but that doesn’t mean the story had to end there.
He has some experience working with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer during their time together at Molde and from all reports they seem to have a good relationship so the transfer links will always be there.
He is also exactly what Man United need going forward as he could do a job similar to Edinson Cavani, only he has much more potential and his ability to score goals and relentlessly harass opposing defenses is something to behold. .

It’s also worth noting that Man United were a mess when they were first tied up and it was unclear how long Solskjaer would last, but now he seems pretty confident in his role and things are going well.
All of that means a transfer to Haaland could be possible this summer, and the manager’s recent comments don’t exactly rule it out …
Solskjær: “I’m following Erling [Braut Haaland]. I’ve always said that. Was it 18 months together or something? Almost two years, maybe. A wonderful time. He will definitely have a great career for both Norway and his club. ” #mulive [vg]

?? – Solskjaer in Haaland:
“He is doing incredibly well with Dortmund so we’ll see where he ends up. As a Norwegian and someone who has worked with him, of course it’s fun that he does it so well. #mufc #mujournal

Usually a manager has to discard any ties and say that the player simply belongs to another club, so it seems this could be something United fans should keep an eye on.
