He was just being nice and politically correct to Ole, actions speak louder than wordsNah, I remember reading it. I think it was his dad talking with tv2.
He basically said OGS desire to sign Erling was greater then the clubs and with uncertaincy regarding OGS future at Utd the smart move were Dortmund.
They are really tight. Not only in the footballing world.Imagine being the biggest legend in Norway and being rejected by a player you gave a debut to
Don’t think Haaland nor his dad are big fans of Ole otherwise he would have been here already
So do you genuinely think he would choose Utd over the others because of Ole, personally I think we need to finish minimum third this season and certainly not miles behind City & Leicester/Chelsea if we want to have a chanceThey are really tight. Not only in the footballing world.
I’d like to be believe you but facts are we were in for Haaland while Ole was in charge and he rejected usThey are really tight. Not only in the footballing world.
Yeah, both Sr and Jr have great respect for Ole. I'm gonna repost a Google translated article from the Norwegian newspaper VG from 2007:They are really tight. Not only in the footballing world.
First of all; We are a huge club. The most famous club in the world. We have a young and exciting team as well. We can for sure compete for the best players in the world. We need CL, that I do agree with you on.So do you genuinely think he would choose Utd over the others because of Ole, personally I think we need to finish minimum third this season and certainly not miles behind City & Leicester/Chelsea if we want to have a chance
They did that for sporting reasons.I’d like to be believe you but facts are we were in for Haaland while Ole was in charge and he rejected us
Everything else is speculation
Will that relationship really mean anything thoughFirst of all; We are a huge club. The most famous club in the world. We have a young and exciting team as well. We can for sure compete for the best players in the world. We need CL, that I do agree with you on.
Ole has a close relationship with both Erling and Alf-Inge.
I am pretty sure we are working on the deal right now.
They did that for sporting reasons.
Of course it will mean something. How much bearing it will have on the decision however, is anyone’s guess. It certainly doesn’t hurt though, I should think.Will that relationship really mean anything though
I'd say that's the only reason we have an actual chance to sign him.Will that relationship really mean anything though
He just signed a 5-year contract. It means he'll be a right-sided forward.Wouldn't signing Haaland basically mean kicking greenwood out the door? I can't seem him being contempt with beeing on the bench forever. I see him more as a forward/striker than a winger in the long run
Well Haaland is the much better player, so why would that matter even if it did, which it won'tWouldn't signing Haaland basically mean kicking greenwood out the door? I can't seem him being contempt with beeing on the bench forever. I see him more as a forward/striker than a winger in the long run
I think we need to show we can win trophies as well. So far 3 in 8 seasons isn't good enough. Would he pick Utd over City or Liverpool, never mind Madrid and Barca even though three of those teams are having a shit season. I'm not so sure unless he's in it solely for the money. Then we have a chance.First of all; We are a huge club. The most famous club in the world. We have a young and exciting team as well. We can for sure compete for the best players in the world.

What do you think his demands would be then just out of interestI'd say that's the only reason we have an actual chance to sign him.
Our manager is his countryman, someone he looks up to and worked with him when he was a kid.
If not for that lucky coincidence, what reason would he have to sign for us? Yes we're still a huge and renowned club, but it's been near a decade without a decent project and a clear direction to go. There are more teams than never who can tie or beat our transfer fee/salary offers.
Still, I expect him to sign for us if we meet his demands. If that happens, it's only due to OGS.
Well that definitely sounds like HaalandHow important is Solskjær for your development?
He is absolutely important in every way. He has played in the Premier League and won the Champions League. You will learn from the best, and I learn every day.
What are you learning?
How to be a striker.
What is the most important thing he has taught you?
Score goals, says Erling Braut Håland.

No.Wouldn't signing Haaland basically mean kicking greenwood out the door? I can't seem him being contempt with beeing on the bench forever. I see him more as a forward/striker than a winger in the long run
Sounds mad to say but Mason could learn loads from him, however this still seems so pie in the skyNo.
Martial can sod off though.
That’s like saying: I would even get rid of my old broom, if it means I would get a Dyson V10.He is the next player we simply must get. I'd even get rid of Martial for him, offer Dortmund a swap deal + cash in exchange for Haaland to reduce the transfer fee.
You make some good points here and i take them on board but for the record i never said we'd be cities rivals in the near future. Just that i believe Chelsea and Utd are comparable in attractiveness right now.If its too early to say they arent a waste of money then its faaar too early to say they're attractive because they could be Citys rivals in the near future.
At least you could say Utd are on the right track. You see improvement. You see no other side has lost less games than us in a year, 1 defeat in 19, undefeated away from home for God knows how long, going fom 6th to (as we stand) second, top scorers in the league, beat Leicester and its 5 semi finals in 12 months, a manager he knows, respects, is close with and stable. Thats without a Haaland in the side. Plus Utd are leagues above Chelsea in stats as a club.
With Chelsea, are they better than 2 season ago? Are they better than last year? Manager on a 18 month contract, laying in 5th and look to be in a mad battle for fourth, in a club that has shown it might not be the best environment for a player from Germany to play for.
Story goes He went to Dortmund because he wanted to know the entire club wanted him there, not just Solskjaer. How would he feel with upheavel every 18 months? A different manager coming in every other season etc.
Its hard to point to a 5 year span when so much changes in 5 years.
Even now Havertz and Timo joined because others had to pull out in a covid market.
Wow you must really want him considering you're willing to go to such radical lengths.He is the next player we simply must get. I'd even get rid of Martial for him, offer Dortmund a swap deal + cash in exchange for Haaland to reduce the transfer fee.
Don't think Dortmund would want Martial instead of more money. Don't think Martial would want to move to DortmundHe is the next player we simply must get. I'd even get rid of Martial for him, offer Dortmund a swap deal + cash in exchange for Haaland to reduce the transfer fee.
in Champ Man all you need to do is fine Martial two weeks wages and he'll bugger off anywhereDon't think Dortmund would want Martial instead of more money. Don't think Martial would want to move to Dortmund
People dont want to admit it but Greenwood has been given alot of chances to play as an out and out striker either at the tip of our attack or in a strikers partnership with Rashford.Wouldn't signing Haaland basically mean kicking greenwood out the door? I can't seem him being contempt with beeing on the bench forever. I see him more as a forward/striker than a winger in the long run
Well none of those bar City can afford him this summer without a clause and even then City are reportedly after Messi and Lukaku so...?I think we need to show we can win trophies as well. So far 3 in 8 seasons isn't good enough. Would he pick Utd over City or Liverpool, never mind Madrid and Barca even though three of those teams are having a shit season. I'm not so sure unless he's in it solely for the money. Then we have a chance.
Really? That would be an odd one.and Lukaku
He is saying that Lewandowski is crazy good. It isn't about Bayern.Nah, Erling's a die hard Bayern fan, so it seems...

Tap him up, Brazzo! (perhaps he's already doing it, hehehe)
Greenwood said in an interview with Rio that he prefers to play on the right wing or as a CF but thinks he needs to bulk up before he is ready to be the CF. I think Greenwood should be the RW for the future especially if we get Haaland. Would rather Haaland than Sancho, I think Rashford Haaland Greenwood would be better than Rashford, Greenwood, Sancho.People dont want to admit it but Greenwood has been given alot of chances to play as an out and out striker either at the tip of our attack or in a strikers partnership with Rashford.
Greenwood hasn't done well as a striker in all those games and has been much better as a RW even in his general play.
I can see that Greenwood needs bulking up however as much as I see that he can get a benefit of that, it can make him have some negative consequences as I have seen from others players that tried to up their central ability.Greenwood said in an interview with Rio that he prefers to play on the right wing or as a CF but thinks he needs to bulk up before he is ready to be the CF.

Hes manager of Man Utd for feck sake, he left Molde years agoI do like that Solskjaer is doing his best to suggest he and Haaland could be reunited at some point in the next couple of seasons. However, it does feel a bit like a supermodels ex-boyfriend from high school talking about great their time was together. It may have been but she's not going to date you again, not with Enrique Iglesias waiting in the wings.
He is more a Tennis player kinda guy .

This is just an excerpt. He watches all our gamesHe is saying that Lewandowski is crazy good. It isn't about Bayern.
Im not so sure thats the reason behind the clause tbh. Apart from Spanish clubs, i cant see any other top club buying him, and inserting a clause where he can sod off after 2-3 years. Which is why i think they asked Dortmund to insert it, because Haaland knows where he wants his next move to be, and the clause allows greater freedom to possibly make the move, should the club come in for himIf City want him, surely they'll get him. Will Mino and Haaland fancy their chances of leaving there to go to another big club? City just don't seem to sell their best players, and if Haaland wants to play all around Europe, maybe that's not the move for him.
no quite right. There was reports of another 250-300m set aside for this summer, too. No club has a bottomless pit of cash. But reality is, Roman can afford to buy any player on the planet, really. He is that wealthy. So for us to spend another 200-300m isnt beyond probabilityChelsea don't have a bottomless pit of cash, unless somethings changed.
That was a fun thing to do...in Champ Man all you need to do is fine Martial two weeks wages and he'll bugger off anywhere
What a useless uninformed opinionImagine being the biggest legend in Norway and being rejected by a player you gave a debut to

The guy has called Bruno a stat padder before, fair to say best to be ignored.What a useless uninformed opinion
It was a joke, I just feel like Raiola will lead him to Madrid or Barcelona eventually, maybe even Juventus.Hes manager of Man Utd for feck sake, he left Molde years ago
