Manchester United to battle Manchester City for Erling Haaland’s signature

Manchester United are prepared to go head-to-head with Manchester City in the race to land Erling Braut Haaland from Borussia Dortmund this summer, Manchester Evening News reports.

The Red Devils are currently second in the Premier League standings, but there is a significant 14-point gap between them and runaway leaders Manchester City.

The club have vastly improved on their defensive displays as the season has progressed and the main concern has been in the final third of the pitch.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have played a number of draws since the turn of the year and the hierarchy have acknowledged that they need a new striker.
