Erling Haaland rules out Man United transfer as goalscorer pledges future to Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund star Erling Braut Haaland handed a massive blow to Manchester United by underlining his commitment to the Bundesliga giants this week. Haaland was linked with a move to Man United over the summer, having made the move to the Westfalenstadion in January, but the prolific goalscorer is keen to see out his contract with Dortmund. Since arriving at Dortmund from RB Salzburg for a reported fee of €20m, Haaland has scored 16 goals in 18 appearances.
