The young Norwegian is one of the most sought after strikers in world football right now and was reportedly close to a move to Old Trafford before moving to Germany. Now the latest Man United transfer news suggest that the club will make another attempt to sign the 20-year-old.

Despite signing Edinson Cavani on deadline day, multiple media reports suggest that Man United still harbour hopes of signing the young forward. The Athletic on their Talk of the Devils podcast recently claimed that Man Utd manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is still targeting the 20-year-old. The conversations during the podcast suggested that despite Man United’s failed pursuit of Jadon Sancho over the summer, no bridges have been burnt between the two clubs.

Man United legend Wayne Rooney while speaking about the Erling Haaland transfer links had claimed that the striker would be a perfect fit for the club.

Calling Erling Haaland ‘sensational’, Scholes predicted that the youngster could touch the same heights as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the future.
