Manchester United could be on the look out for a new number nine in the coming transfer windows.

Manchester United fans are hopeful after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted to BBC Sport that he is excited about Erling Braut Haaland’s progress at Salzburg.

Haaland netted a hat-trick in the Champions League on Tuesday evening, to take his total to 17 goals in nine games.

And United boss Solskjaer said: “It was nice watching the game last night, it was great watching him. Everyone excited by his development.”

The Norwegian striker is now one of the hottest properties in football, and United fans are hoping that he is brought to Old Trafford sooner rather than later after Solskjaer’s comments.

United have tended to target young British players since Solskjaer’s arrival, but Haaland would unquestionably be an exciting addition to their current squad.

The powerful forward appears to have everything required to be a success in the Premier League, as he is blessed with great physical power despite his tender years.

If United were to move for Haaland it is unlikely that they would be able to get him unopposed though.

Haaland has done enough to attract the attention of some of Europe’s biggest clubs now, and United are likely to have to fight off some serious competition if they want to bring him to England.
