Manchester United could have signed Erling Haaland in January if reports are to be believed.
As per ESPN, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer met with the player last December and he thought that he had secured an agreement to bring the 20-year-old to Old Trafford.
However, Ed Woodward backed out of the deal because of the agent fees and the demand for a release clause.
Haaland’s camp wanted a release clause inserted into his contract and Dortmund were happy to accommodate that request. The striker signed for the German club eventually with a €75m release clause, which cannot be exercised until 2022.
