Manchester United are just one of the clubs who have been linked with Erling Haaland in recent times. In fact, every European giant has been rumoured with a potential move for the Norwegian superstar at one point or another. And that is not surprising at all, as he looks like a can’t miss prospect, with a release clause believed to become active in his Borussia Dortmund contract next summer.
Haaland is arguably the most exciting young player in world football at this point of time. He has been incredible over the past few years. Just his record since moving to Borussia Dortmund is incredible.
According to stats from Transfermarkt, he has scored 74 goals and provided 26 assists in 76 appearances for Borussia Dortmund till now. That is extraordinary for any player, especially one who is still just 21 years of age.
Mino Raiola has opened up about Haaland’s future recently. As reported by Marca, he told Sport1:
"“We have been thinking for two years.“We have clear ideas of where Haaland should go.”"
Raiola comments on Haaland future amid Manchester United links
It appears that there are clear ideas about where Haaland could look to go in the future. And it is safe to say that he is not going to have any lack of options.
Are Manchester United one of the clubs that they could be thinking about?
Now, there is no doubt about the fact that Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in world football and always a great option for any player. But over the past several seasons, they have not been the most successful team on the pitch.
The Red Devils have not won a single trophy in the previous four seasons now and it remains to be seen if they can end that streak this season under the management of Ralf Rangnick.
Thus, as things stand, Manchester United might not be a team that are on top of Haaland’s list of clubs that he could be looking to move to. But never say never in football.
