Manchester United have made Erling Haaland their prime transfer target, according to reports. And Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe are also admired at Old Trafford. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could recruit a new forward at the end of the campaign, with the likes of Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood misfiring this term.

Solskjaer recently talked up the Norway international, admitting the pair were still in touch - having previously managed his compatriot at Molde.
The 48-year-old said: “It is clear that Erling is going to have a fantastic career.
“I follow Erling. I have always said that. Was it 18 months we had together or something like that?
“Almost two years, perhaps. A fantastic time. He will surely have a super career both for Norway and his club. He is doing incredibly well for Dortmund.
“We will see where he ends up. As a Norwegian and someone who has worked with him, it is of course great that he is doing so well.”

Real Madrid are widely considered frontrunners in the race to sign Mbappe, while Liverpool have also been linked.
Meanwhile, United reportedly haven’t played down speculation that Inter Milan owe them money over a missed payment for the transfer of Romelu Lukaku.
And they could move for Lautaro Martinez as a result, with the Argentina international helping to propel his side to the top of the Serie A table.
Meanwhile, Alan Shearer recently took aim at Martial for his struggles this season - claiming he’s not good enough to lead the line on a regular basis.
"I've read that Martial wants to be Manchester United's main centre-forward and that he sees it as his position. I don't. He's been there for six years.

"Last season was his best in terms of numbers, but he's never scored more than 20 league goals in a campaign and I just don't see the desperation, the hunger, desire and know-how to be a No 9, to score as many goals as he should.
"I see the talent but that isn't enough at a club that wants to challenge for the biggest honours.
"Martial is quite content to spend time outside the box, which is one of the reasons they signed Edinson Cavani and why, if fit, he’s ahead of Martial in their strongest XI."
United are next in action against Manchester City on Sunday.
And Greenwood and Martial are both fighting to start that game as Solskjaer’s side look to boost their chances of a top four finish.
