Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed that Manchester United refused to sign Erling Haaland for just £4m while he was still at Norwegian club Molde.
Solskjaer used to be Haaland's coach at Molde. The striker has built a reputation as a potential goalscorer and Solskjaer recommended him to United in 2018, just before he took over as caretaker manager from Jose Mourinho.
Solskjaer told The Athletic:
"I contacted United because we have the talented striker they should have.
“But they didn't listen, unfortunately. I asked four million. But they never signed it. Four million! Don't ask (where is he). He's too good.
Instead, Haaland moved to RB Salzburg, where he spent a solitary season before joining German club Borussia Dortmund. He finally joined Manchester City last summer.
