Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed that he told Manchester United to buy Erling Haaland for £4million in 2018 but the club refused. Solskjaer stated that he told United about Haaland around six months before taking charge of United in December 2018. The pair worked together at Molde and Solskjaer was fully aware of Haaland’s enormous potential but the striker instead joined Red Bull Salzburg and then Borussia Dortmund before his £51.2million move to Manchester City last year.  Now 22 years old, Haaland is undoubtedly one of the stars of world football but he could have ended up at United instead of their cross-town rivals Manchester City.

Bruno Fernandes has made the bizarre claim that no one believed Manchester United would finish inside the top six this season.

The importance of such relationships in football can’t be understated. Any successful team has partnerships across the pitch…
