Report reveals Haaland performed U-turn on Man United transfer

Erling Haaland told Manchester United of his ‘desire’ to join the club before performing a U-turn to sign for Borussia Dortmund in the January transfer window, according to reports.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s search for attacking reinforcements in January initially began with Haaland, with the ex-RB Salzburg man becoming Europe’s hottest property after netting 28 times in 22 games for the Austrian side.

The fascinating transfer saga pulled this way and that, with reports surfacing each day that a move was nearing, only for Borussia Dortmund to sweep in just days before the window closed. (Text courtesy Vanguard)
