Erling Haaland is arguably the most exciting talent in world football right now and he has been linked with every top club in Europe in recent times, including Manchester United. Currently playing for Borussia Dortmund, a release clause is believed to become active in his contract next summer. And there is expected to be a transfer race for his signature as a result.
Manchester United are a club who have been linked with Haaland for a long time, since when he was at RB Salzburg. And while a move had appeared close at one point of time, it did not materialise, with the Norwegian striker going to Borussia Dortmund instead.
It is safe to say that he has been absolutely sensational there. According to stats from Transfermarkt, he has scored 76 goals and provided 27 assists in 79 appearances for the Bundesliga club till now.
Thus, it goes without saying that he would be a magnificent signing for any club in the world right now. And as reported by Manchester Evening News, Ralf Rangnick is pushing for a move for Haaland despite heavy competition for his signature.
Haaland to Manchester United transfer rumour emerges
Haaland has the potential to be one of the best players in the world in the future. And thus, it is no surprise that he is being linked with almost every top club in the world right now.
Manchester United could definitely do with a player like Haaland. While they have a deep forward line at the moment, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcus Rashford, Edinson Cavani, Mason Greenwood and Anthony Martial, quite a few of them are being linked with Old Trafford exits at the moment.
Also, the likes of Ronaldo and Cavani are no longer in their primes. Thus, they will need to make an addition up top in the future. And there is probably nobody better than Haaland right now.
