Really? Not sure I’ve read any report here saying he was nailed on to join us.
Erling Haaland | Dortmund player
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
No reason to keep Ole beyond summer now
Not bothered after reading the rumoured fees and Raiola being involved
Someone in here promised me a blueberry pie.
20m is a good bit of business for them. I think he is overrated especially given his age and the 6 months he has playing football. Good luck to him. I am glad we can now focus on what we need, a right forward, number 10 and number 6! Greenwood should be our back up striker, would be happy for Manduzkic to come in for 6 months to cover as 3rd choice.

He seems like a good player but it's always good to dodge another Raiola timebomb
Step by step.. move makes sense. he should get plenty of games there.
We really need to focus on a right winger and a midfielder.

Good. There's no room for him here

Relax. Right choice for the player himself.
Whats your issue with Dortmund? They are one of the clubs in Europe that is and should be respected.
It's a shame we didn't manage to lure him to us. Would have been nice to have a striker that likes to make runs behind the defense. Would have created more space for other players.
Says a lot about the German league, a good league for a player to grow before taking a further step up the ladder (if not as you say - Bayern comes knocking)
Are we still peddling that myth? Haaland played the next game after the Keane assault.
Meh, didn't want him anyway.
Wahhhhh
Wahhhhh
Now this is over -
Buy Sancho to compete with Martial as a False 9.
Buy a left footed right winger/ forward to compete with Greenwood.
We should not be changing the formation.

Good for him. I can’t wait for him to join bayern in few years.
This does not look good for our and Ole attractiveness for players. If we can't convince someone to join us who was given his first chance by our current manager and moulded by him, who can we convince.
Delighted.
Yeah the silver lining is that at least we can focus on other targets.

Dortmund paid 30M for Håland's sporting rights (20M release clause + 10M to his father) and a 15M commission fee to Raiola. Haland will earn 6M net salary for the first 2 years, with a wage rise to 8M yearly and a release clause starting with the third year of contract.
He doesn`t look the powerhouse Haaland is, but if you say so, myself i think they are two different kind of players
So all that hype and speculation came to nothing for United. Just knew that a poorly run club like United wouldn't get such a talented young player for such a bargain price. Knowing Woodward he'll put in 150 million bid in year or two for him.
Can’t understand why people are happy we didn’t sign him.

Greenwood is better anyway.
Promising that we seem to be focusing on the areas that we lack the most but the ability of our club to execute remains a big problem. Think Haaland will be good for Dortmund but not convinced he was a priority for us over the midfield and number 10.
Disappointed. Was very hopeful of getting a young talent for cheap for a change for us. Rather than us continuing to pay huge sums for more finished players like Pogba, Lukaku etc..
We won’t. Ole will come out and say he’s happy with the squad and think it’s capable of getting top 4.
Because we don’t get invested in transfer speculation nonsense. And we are happy with Martial as our striker with Greenwood getting minutes as the backup. And we would rather sign a RW and midfielders/No 10.
Massive L considering Ole was the one who gave him his first chance. We cant attract anyone anymore.
I could not think of a better move for him! This is the perfect club to further continue his development. I think was the better move over going to United. Huge move by Dortmund.
Think he has just done what is best for him. He will get loads of starts at Dortmund. He won't stop there, nobody does.
A bit disappointed tbh. What a bargain it could be.
Let's move on though.

And we thought Ole has more pulling power than everyone else because he gave him a chance.
Who says we didn't?
Exactly. I get why people are bitter, but the move to Dortmund made much more sense.
We'll hopefully be in the conversation again when he leaves them.
Other areas of the squad take priority
Takes minutes off Greenwood
They simply didn’t rate him
