'We'd like to do our business and talks on the quiet': Ole Gunnar Solskjaer plays down talk of Manchester United chasing £154m Erling Haaland after Mino Raiola took Barcelona and Real Madrid negotiations public

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has refused to be drawn on a renewed bid for Erling Haaland after the Borussia Dortmund striker’s representatives opened talks with Europe’s top clubs.

United thought they had a transfer deal tied up for Haaland in January 2020 after Solskjaer flew to Austria to meet his fellow Norwegian, but the Red Bull Salzburg striker made a £19.5million move to Dortmund instead.

The 20-year-old is expected to move again this summer with a number of clubs interested even though the German club have valued him at £154m.

United are just one of many European clubs linked with Erling Haaland who is valued at u00a3154m

Haaland's release clause of £65m does not kick in until next summer, however Europe's elite are unwilling to wait to secure the signature of one of the most sought after players in the world.
