Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has claimed he told the club to sign Erling Haaland for just £4million but they “didn’t listen”.
The Norwegian played under Solskjaer at Molde five years ago, with the record-breaking striker going on to join Red Bull Salzburg and then Borussia Dortmund, before sealing a £51m move to Manchester City in April 2022.
The 22-year-old has scored 51 goals in all competitions so far this season. Solskjaer says he urged United to sign the PWA player of the year before he took charge at Old Trafford in 2018.
“I got in contact with United because we had this talented striker who they should have had,” the former United boss said, speaking at ‘An Evening with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’ event in Manchester.
“But they didn’t listen, unfortunately. Four million, I asked for. But they never signed him. Four million! Don’t ask (where he is now). He’s too good…”
Haaland broke the single-season Premier League goalscoring record earlier this month.
