Solskjaer ‘Keeps Calling’ Haaland Over Manchester United Move!
Manchester United might have an edge in the hunt for hotshot striker Erling Haaland with their manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer having ties with the player from their time together at Molde.
The Norwegian youngster has been in sensational form in this 2020-21 season, scoring a whopping 33 goals in 32 games. His form has earned him a transfer target for almost every top club in Europe.
The likes of Real Madrid have lacked firepower and are said to be in search of a strike partner, and eventual successor, for Karim Benzema. While Manchester City is understood to be keen on replacing an aging Sergio Aguero. And Chelsea is supposedly ready to move on from the struggling Timo Werner.
Elsewhere, Manchester United, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, and Barcelona, in addition to the aforementioned, are also reportedly in life for the 20-year-old striker.
