“They didn’t listen” – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reveals Manchester United rejected chance to sign Erling Haaland for £4 million
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed that he offered Erling Haaland to Manchester United for just £4 million. However, the Red Devils decided to snub the chance and ignore the advice from the Norwegian.
Haaland was playing under Solkjaer at Molde when he was offered to the Red Devils. He went on to join Borussia Dortmund and is now on a roll at Manchester City.
Speaking at the “An Evening with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer” event in Manchester, the Red Devils legend recalled his offer to Manchester United. He claims that the Red Devils were not ready to make the £4 million bid and said:
“I got in contact with United because we had this talented striker who they should have had. But they didn’t listen, unfortunately. Four million, I asked for. But they never signed him. Four million! Don’t ask (where he is now). He’s too good…“
Ole Gunnar took over at Manchester United a few months later, but the striker was on his way elsewhere.
