Erling Haaland

Erling Haaland

The first name that comes to mind is Erling Haaland the 19 year old Norwegian forward has scored 28 goals in 22 appearances so far this campaign as he is simply tearing it up for his club Red Bull Salzburg.

United have possibly been hoping that the United boss may have some sway with his countryman as RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund are apparently also very keen on the starlet.


The question is do United really need another young striker when they already have Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Mason Greenwood and other youngsters in Daniel James who can all play upfront. A more experienced striker would make more sense you would think but Haaland and his 28 goals in 22 appearances are pretty eye-catching.

Rumours of Mario Mandzukic or Edin Dzeko joining the Red-Devils do not seem likely given Ole’s desire to play by moving the ball fast and attacking with pace and intent.
