Revealed to The Sun, former Man United captain Solskjaer expressed regret when Man United made a mistake in the Haaland deal.
“I contacted Manchester United about six months before I took over and asked them to sign a striker who was already in my sights . However, Man United did not obey. I asked Man United to spend £4 million on Haaland but they refused.
It is known that Haaland used to be a student of the former Red Man assassin. During his time with the Molde club, Haaland hit the milestone of 20 goals in 50 games, all under coach Solskjaer. Haaland then moved to RB Salzburg and after just 1 year of playing at the strongest team in Austria, Haaland landed at Signal Iduna Park and stepped onto the big playing field.
In Dortmund shirt, Haaland has excellently owns 86 goals and 17 assists after only 89 appearances. The same terrible parameters have made the big guys constantly look at Haaland. He received many offers from Madrid, Liverpool and Man United but decided to choose the blue shirt that his father gave him. This season, Haaland has continuously set many records with a total of 51 shots in all competitions for Man City.
In an interview with Ole, the Norwegian striker once said: “He congratulated me on signing for Man City but also wrote that he wished him luck for choosing the wrong Manchester shirt. We talked many times. You know, Ole made a big splash in my career when I was at Molde. He’s a good coach.”
Haaland has the latest status about the FWA award: “So proud to receive the FWA award in my first year in the Premier League. I work hard every day and being recognized is a big reward for me. I love Manchester City. I have great teammates who can give me a lot of opportunities. I want to thank the team because I would not have won this title without their help.”
On the side of Man United, they missed the fearsome goalscorer and now the red devils have to once again fight in the transfer market. Man United is working fiercely on two deals Osimhen and Harry Kane.
