Manchester United will lose key transfer target to this team yet again
By Bence Bocsak
Manchester United are expected to lose out on yet another one of their targets to the same rival team again according to reports.
In the modern age of football you have to act fast in the transfer market. Otherwise you snooze and you lose. This is something Manchester United have had to learn the hard way in recent times.
The Red Devils’ transfer dealings have been far from satisfactory and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and co have failed to land many of their key targets last summer and in January.
Undoubtedly, the biggest player the Red Devils missed out on was Erling Braut Haland. Solskjaer who coached Haland as a youngster and gave the Norwegian forward his first professional start in the game, seemed extremely keen on bringing him to Old Trafford.

Unfortunately a deal never managed to materialise, despite United trying everything in their power to try to convince Solskjaer’s fellow countryman to chose the Red Devils as his next destination.
In the end United faltered in the negotiations and Erling Braut Haland ended up joining German giants, Borussia Dortmund.
Already United will be kicking themselves as Haland has blossomed since his move in January and has established himself as one of the most fearsome strikers in world football right now.
However it seems that the Red Devils have yet to learn from their mistakes.
According to the latest reports United have snoozed on yet another transfer and they could lose another one of their key targets to Borussia Dortmund.
German outlet Sport Bild via the Daily Mail has claimed that Borussia Dortmund have ‘won the race’ to sign Birmingham City midfielder Jude Bellingham over Manchester United.
Jude Bellingham has been courted by the Red Devils recently after impressing in the Championship.
The 16 year old is one of the most exciting young English prospects around having established himself as a regular member of Birmingham City’s starting eleven this season.
Jude Bellingham looks like a generational player and a talent who could dominate European football for years to come.
If United lose out to Dortmund again, the Red Devils might rue their mistake once more just like they have done with Haland.
