Erling Haaland would ‘fit in perfectly’ at United says expert
Erling Haaland has been garnering plenty of attention from German clubs and even visited two clubs this week, but it looks as though he still favours a move to Manchester United. Haaland has attracted the interest from all around Europe through his performances this season.
It looks increasingly likely that Haaland will leave Red Bull Salzburg in the January transfer window as teams ramp up their interest in signing the young forward.
Players who have emerged at Salzburg often make the step up to parent club RB Leipzig, much like Naby Keita, Amadou Haidara and Brighton defender Bernardo.
And Salzburg sporting director Christoph Freund has suggested a move to Leipzig could be on the cards as the striker visited the Saxony club on Wednesday.
Freund also added that Haaland was shown around Borussia Dortmund with the German outfit keen to bolster their attacking options.

But the Telegraph report United still remain in pole position to sign Haaland as the teenage sensation favours a move to Old Trafford.
In United’s favour is the relationship between Ole Gunnar Solkskjaer and Haaland.
The Red Devils boss signed Haaland during his time in charge of Molde back in 2017 with both leaving the club at the end of 2018.
While Solskjaer took over from Jose Mourinho at United, Haaland moved to Salzburg where he has since established himself as one of the best talents in world football.
