Erling Haaland flies in for further talks with Manchester United on(today) Friday morning as he potentially closes in a move to Old Trafford.
The prolific Red Bull Salzburg striker took a Norwegian Airlines flight from Stavanger in his homeland to Manchester set to land at 10.15am.
His father, the former Nottingham Forest, Leeds United and Manchester City player, Alf-Inge Haaland, was with him on the flight.
Haaland has scored 28 goals in 22 matches for Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga, the Austrian Cup and the Champions League so far this season.
It suggests United may have won the race to sign the in-demand player amid interest from Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig and others.
It came after United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted his interest in signing a player he coached for two years at Molde in Norway.
‘He is a player I like. We are looking for good players all the time,’ Solskjaer told Viasport.
Erling has had a good development, so he has to develop further wherever he decides.
‘I don’t need to talk so much about him, but we as a team always look for players who can complement the others we have, and then we see what we end up with.’
