Erling Haaland: Why Man City Stand A Better Chance To Sign Him Than Man United
This summer promises to be an interesting one, for the first time in so many years, we might see the two biggest rivalry clubs in Manchester battle it out for Dortmund star, Erling Haaland.
Borussia Dortmund forward, Erling Haaland is the hottest striker in Europe right now, we don’t need to argue about this because the stats speak for him.
Following his impressive form since joining Dortmund from RB Salzburg last January, scoring 49 goals in as many games, including 10 in six Champions League matches.
Haaland has attracted most of the top flight European giants; Chelsea, Man City, Man United, Real Madrid, Barcelona, in fact Bayen Munich are also hiding behind just in case all the teams fail to capture him, he replace Lewandowski some day.

None of the these teams have denied not to be interested in him, all of them have shown interest in him. But for the two Manchester clubs, signing Haaland next summer is a MUST for them.
But the question, between Man United and Man City who stand the big chance of landing the Dortmund superstar.
For the Red Devils, Haaland could be the solution to their goal drought upfront since Martial, Rashford and Cavani are not really scoring from the chances they get.
Man City on the other, also need Haaland to replace outgoing club legend, Sergio Aguero who leaves at the end of the season.

In Terms of Club History And Pedigree
Many years ago, when a player wanted to choose between two clubs who are dying to have him in their squad.
First thing, the player thought of was the club’s history with trophies both local and in Champions League.
The second thing the player would consider is the club’s pedigree in the Champions league.
If Haaland was to choose between Man United and Man City based on club history and pedigree then certainly, Manchester United would have been an easier choose.
Crazy Borussia Dortmund ‘Set £154m Price Tag For Forward Erling Haaland This Summer
Not until the recent outbreak of the global pandemic, Coronavirus, Manchester United could have match with Dortmund staggering asking price for Erling Haaland.
Clubs are no longer getting matchday revenue from the fans that comes to the stadium, Man United Chief Executive, Ed Woodward announced a huge debt swallowing the club due to the pandemic.
Nevertheless, Man City are seen as the favourites in terms of being able to match Dortmund’s asking price.
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a known admirer of his compatriot, but he did note recently that the club need to be ‘realistic’ with transfers this summer amid a decrease in revenue this season, largely as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

- That’s what The Sun claim it would take to bring one of the hottest properties in European football to Manchester this summer.
- City are not the only team on Haaland’s trail but he won’t be going anywhere cheaply, with Borussia Dortmund looking for 180 million euros as a transfer fee.
- All in all, we are talking about a deal that could be worth 350 million euros for the striker who has scored 33 goals in 31 games this season.
Family history favors Man City
Erling Haaland to Chelsea is not very realistic a transfer
If Haaling does end up in a light-blue shirt, he will be following in his father’s footsteps.
Alf-Inge Haaland spent three years at Manchester City at the beginning of the current century and Pep Guardiola will be able to get a good look at his son when Borussia Dortmund come to town next week.
Agent Mino Raiola Feud With Man United
Mino Raiola is the super agent for Haaland and he could be block to Man United move for his player since he already did when he was moving from RB Salzburg last January.
In a recent time has been involved in a few banter with Man United over Paul Pogba. Mino Raiola is not a cheap agent one can just override him like that.
Mino-Raiola, Erling-Haaland’s agent
Meanwhile, Mino Raiola has endured a fractious relationship with Pep Guardiola throughout the Spaniard’s managerial career, stretching back to Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s time at Barcelona under the City boss.
Speaking in earlier interview, “I don’t give a f*** if I never do another player with Manchester United. I’m not in their hands. I’m independent.
“We have only one party that we take care of: our players. And as long as our players like us, you do what you have to do,” Raiola said.
But the opportunity to land one of the game’s most coveted talents may be enough for United to swallow their pride.

Solskjaer Ties With Halaand; The Only Hope to Secure Him At Man United
Spanish publication AS say that Solskjaer ‘keeps calling’ Haaland to sell the United project to him and convince him that his future lies at Old Trafford.
Solskjaer and Haaland worked together when the United boss was in charge at Molde in Norway and he is hoping they can join forces once again in the Premier League.
There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.
- Ten Hag Says Man United Are on Track
- Liverpool blame themselves for FA Cup loss to Man United
- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
