Erling Haaland apparently rejected a move to Manchester United to join Borussia Dortmund from RB Salzburg. The 19-year-old striker was heavily linked to United over the last few weeks but ultimately chose to move to the Bundesliga over the Premier League. According to reports, Haaland joined Dortmund after the German club triggered the £19.2 million release clause in his contract. The Norwegian signed a contract with Dortmund till 2024.

With Manchester United failing to sign Erling Haaland, some United fans took to social media claiming to be happy he did not come to the Premier League.

Liverpool beat RB Salzburg 2-0, thanks to goals from Naby Keita and Mohamed Salah. Liverpool, however, impressed with their defence in Austria. Virgil van Dijk was his flawless self during the game restricting everything the home side had to throw at him and his side.

Erling Haaland had a particularly rough night after the striker lasted 75 minutes in the game. The 19-year-old failed to register a single shot on goal during the UCL game. It was a frustrating night for Haaland, especially after he made bold claims to score a hat-trick against the Reds prior to the game.
Liverpool reminding why they are European champions. Majestic from Van Dijk. Made Haaland look like a bus with no breaks. Another captain’s performance from Henderson. Moved on to a new level this season. Passing range seems to have increased. Keita glided through that. Superb.
