Erling Haaland's agent, Mino Raiola, has dismissed rumours suggesting he and the player's father, Alf-Inge, spoiled a transfer to Manchester United by insisting on a buyout clause in his contract.
Borussia Dortmund announced on Sunday that they had won the race to sign Haaland, 19, from Red Bull Salzburg, beating a list of suitors thought to include United, Juventus and RB Leipzig:
His representative, Raiola, told the Telegraph's Jason Burt he'd be disappointed if he learnt the alleged rumours stemmed from within United's camp, adding Haaland chose Dortmund as his best career move:
"I do not know if Manchester United are briefing this but if they are then they are covering their own loss and that I find strange and disappointing.
