Former Manchester United boss, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed that he told the club to buy Erling Haaland for £4million in 2018, but they refused.
This happened six months before Solskjaer took charge at Old Trafford.
The striker instead moved to Red Bull Salzburg and then Borussia Dortmund before his £51.2million move to United’s rivals Manchester City last year.
The 22-year-old has now scored 51 times as City close in on a Treble.
“I called United about six months before I took over and told them that I’d got this striker that we had but they didn’t listen.
“I asked for £4million for Haaland but they didn’t sign him,” Solskjaer said according to the UK Sun.
