Manchester United will see themselves as the frontrunners to sign Erling Haaland next summer. The Borussia Dortmund star was left frustrated on more than one occasion during their loss to Bayern Munich in the DFL-Supercup.
United will love how Haaland reacted during Dortmund’s loss to Bayern Munich in the DFL-Supercup on Tuesday night.
The Black and Yellows were easily defeated in the final after an array of defensive errors as Robert Lewandowski scored twice while Leon Goretzka also netted.
It appears that Dortmund have not learnt from their mistakes of last season, which cost them a title challenge in the Bundesliga.
And after a summer where the club have fought to keep hold of Haaland, the striker did not look too happy.

The Norway international started kicking the air after the Bundesliga champions opened the scoring.
That was not his first sign of petulance as he booted the ball away after a decision went against him while he was fuming when given offside following an expertly-taken finish.
There were also some blatant fouls in his game as his frustrations boiled over one too many times.
However, United might have looked at that 90 minutes from the 21-year-old and liked what they saw - because he did not stop all game.

As much as Haaland was frustrated, there was a fire in his belly and he never shied away from trying to take the game by the scruff of its neck.
The Leeds-born ace could be seen revving the crowd up, throwing his arms up in the air in a bid to get them to crank the volume.
