Manchester United make first move in Erling Haaland pursuit - report

Erling Haaland

The youngster has been linked with many of Europe’s top clubs after a sensational start to the season.

He has notched seven goals in four Champions League games so far, adding another 15 in 12 Austrian Bundesliga appearances.

Manchester United are among the clubs to have been linked with a move for the 19-year-old, especially given Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s relationship with a player he managed during his time as Molde boss.

Haaland’s last league appearance before the international break saw him score another hat-trick – his fifth of the season in all competitions – against Wolfsberger.
