‘Was Out The Race A Long Time Ago’ ‘At Least He’s Not Going To City’ United Fans React To Latest Haaland Transfer Update

Manchester United are no longer looking to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland after learning that the Norwegian has his heart set on a move to Real Madrid, according to reports in England.

The Red Devils have been pursuing the 21-year-old for the last two years, but they have decided to withdraw from the race and pursue other targets.

While fans on Twitter were resigned to losing out on Haaland anyway, they are glad that, despite links to Manchester City and Chelsea, it now appears he won’t end up at a Premier League rival:


The massive rebuild that needs to take place at Old Trafford means that the club may lose out on some high-profile targets in the meantime. Players like to sign for teams where there is some stability but United are very much in a state of transition currently.

Hopefully, when a new permanent manager is appointed, and the direction of the club becomes clearer, it will help attract some big names once again.
