Manchester United missed out on signing Norwegian star Erling Braut Haaland for just £3m plus add-ons from Molde due to a mix-up in the European time zones, The Mirror reports.
Haaland is regarded as one of the world’s best young strikers and he has excelled for Borussia Dortmund this term with 27 goals and eight assists from only 26 games.
He joined the club from Red Bull Salzburg in January last year after they triggered the £17.1m buy-out clause in his contract, but United could have signed him prior to that.
It is reported that United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was keen on a reunion with Haaland in the summer of 2019, having previously worked together at Molde.
