Will Erling Haaland Sign For United Or City?

Man United face a battle with Man City among other clubs to sign Erling Braut Haaland in the summer 2021 transfer window.

Erling Haaland, who currently plays for Borussia Dortmund, has scored 16 Champions League goals in his burgeoning career so far and has been linked with almost every major European side over the last few months.

Alongside Mbappe, Haaland looks destined to be part of football's next major individual duopoly as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi move through the twilight years of their respective careers. 

City have made signing a goalscorer a top priority this summer and they remain front runners to seal a deal for Messi should the Argentine follow up his threat to quit Barcelona.

It was recently revealed that Man United squandered the chance to sign Haaland for a measly fee of just £3m before he agreed to join Red Bull Salzburg.

Former United legend Andy Cole added his thoughts and believes top players such as Erling Haaland would rather sign for Man City or Liverpool.

Cole told The Mirror: 

“To get these guys to come, Haaland for instance, you've got to entice them with something.

“You've got to entice them with the possibility of winning silverware or being a year away from it.
