Manchester United in 'pole position' to sign Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund: Reports

According to reports, Manchester United are said to be in 'pole position' to land Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2022 with Manchester City and Real Madrid having other names on their priority list.

With Manchester City missing out on Harry Kane and Real Madrid on Kylian Mbappe during the recent summer window, it is likely that they will reignite their interest in those targets again. Meanwhile, Manchester United's Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has already worked with the player and was in charge when the Norway international made his senior club debut for Molde back in 2017 and can be able to convenience the player into a move. Borrusia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho too moved to United and the club will hope all these factors put together can help sign Haaland who as per Manchester Evening News was valued at £170million by his current club, Borrusia Dortmund
