Manchester United are in the market for Erling Braut Haaland.
According to The Sun, Manchester United now fear they will miss out on Red Bull Salzburg striker Erling Braut Haaland due to Mino Raiola’s involvement.
Haaland, 18, has become one of the hottest properties in Europe having made a simply remarkable start to life in Austria with Red Bull Salzburg.
His blistering hat-trick against Genk in midweek took his tally to 17 goals in just nine games this season, whilst he’s even notched five assists too.
United have been hoping to win the race for Haaland, despite him being a Leeds United fan, given that boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer coached him at Molde.
However, it’s now claimed that super-agent Mino Raiola is advising Haaland, and now means that a move to Serie A or La Liga may actually be on the cards for the teenage striker.
Raiola has been involved with United with Paul Pogba, and their relationship may not be in the best place right now, meaning the Red Devils fear missing out on the striker.
Haaland is a truly terrifying prospect, possessing a huge 6ft 4in frame, an outstanding turn of pace and penalty box instincts, meaning he’s being backed for a massive future and even compared to ex-United striker Romelu Lukaku.
The son of ex-Manchester City midfielder Alf Inge Haaland, the striker has the world at his feet right now – and picking a next club will be key even just months after joining Salzburg, and United will hope they can use Solskjaer’s connection to Haaland to get the deal done, even with Raiola involved.
