Man United Transfer: Manchester United fuels their interest for the son of ex-Manchester City player, as he has turned out to be a bright prospect.
Manchester United is seeking for new recruits in the squad amidst the rebuild plans at the Old Trafford and Ole Solskjaer has spotted his compatriot Erling Haaland as a suitable candidate to bolster his attack.
Hence, according to a report by the Athletic, United manager asked Simon Wells to specifically monitor the 19-year-old, and the scout took in a Champions League game featuring Haaland.
Solskjaer has previously mentored Haaland at the pair’s former club Molde with Haaland scoring three goals in Solskjaer’s final five games in charge of the Norwegian side in the autumn of 2018.
The teenage sensation has made a breakthrough in the football world after scoring 5 hattricks in this season and scaring the European champions Liverpool at their own den- the Anfield.
Thus, Haaland is the hottest prospect in the European market and every big club sooner or later will be in a rat race to sign his services. But, Manchester United is applying its early trade to fetch the prodigy.
Presently, Manchester United’s frontline is short of resources as injury to either of Marcus Rashford or Anthony Martial brings a burden on the academy players.
Moreover, the Red Devils are also looking to invest in their future with Rashford and Martial cementing themselves at the club at such a young age. Additionally, with Mason Greenwood and Angel Gomes breaking into scene Haaland would be the icing on the cake.
Meanwhile, Haaland’s father has a history with Manchester United, as Alf-Inge Haaland used to play for Manchester United and was badly hit by Roy Keane on the knee who allegedly settled his bad blood with him.
