Manchester United Runaway Leaders in Erling Haaland Chase as Real Madrid Drop Out of Race<\/h2>\n

Erling Haaland: An Incredible talent<\/h3>\n

Erling Haaland is perhaps one of the most talented football players in the world, and he is only 19-years-old.<\/p>\n

Having lit up both the Austrian Bundesliga and the Champions League<\/a> with RB Salzburg, Haaland joined Borussia Dortmund in January. This move came despite strong interest<\/a> from United, who had the added pull of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, former manager of the Norwegian wonderkid at Molde.<\/p>\n

In a new league, it was the same Haaland. Upon his move to Germany, the 19-year-old made a tremendous name for himself, scoring a hat-trick off the bench on his debut. In the Bundesliga<\/a> he has as goal every 57 minutes, and will be a vital part of BVB\u2019s team if and when football resumes.<\/p>\n

Despite this, the German outfit may look to cash in on Haaland already in the upcoming transfer window, experiencing financial troubles due to the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

What Put Real Madrid Off From Signing Such an Incredible Individual<\/h3>\n

According to the report, Los Blancos<\/em> are unwilling to fork out the extensive fees required by superagent and Haaland\u2019s representative, Mino Raiola. The player\u2019s father, Alf-Inge Haaland<\/a> is supposedly another set-back for the Spanish giants.<\/p>\n

This hands United a boost in their chase for the youngster, but it may also be a negative for them.<\/p>\n

The Manchester side have a rocky relationship with Raiola, most notably in the case of Paul Pogba<\/a>. The Frenchman\u2019s agent has been less than desirable to work with, and he has gone on to team up with others like Jesse Lingard<\/a>, who could be looking<\/a> for a route out of Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
