Erling Haaland transfer news: Man Utd fans demand Solskjaer to bring him to Old Trafford

Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland has been one of the top performers in Europe ever since his rise with RB Salzburg the previous season. His phenomenal goalscoring instincts were again on the fore when he struck twice against Sevilla to help his side clinch a close-edged victory in the first leg of the Round of 16 of the Champions League. Manchester United fans have now demanded that manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should rope in the Norwegian international after his phenomenal form.

Haaland stats: Dortmund striker has scored 25 goals this season 

Haaland was close to agreeing to a deal with Man United in the winter transfer window of 2020. Several rounds of negotiations failed to produce the desired results and the then-RB Salzburg striker went on to join Borussia Dortmund. But that hasn't deterred the Red Devils from halting their pursuit for the Norwegian youngster. 

Man United are very much keen on signing the Dortmund forward. His performance against Julen Lopetegui's men, when he struck twice and set up the equaliser, has reignited interest from the Old Trafford outfit. Haaland has already struck 25 goals this season, apart from seven assists across all competitions.

Following his exceptional form against Sevilla, Man United have started demanding his signing again. Fans took to Twitter to urge Solskjaer to convince the club management to seal the Erling Haaland transfer. Indeed, Haaland has worked under Solskjaer during the manager's brief stint with Molde and both enjoy a decent level of respect professionally.
