Man Utd boss Solskjaer 'proud' to see Haaland closing in on his Champions League record

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he's "proud" to see Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland closing in on his Champions League record.

Solskjaer is currently the highest-scoring Norwegian player in the history of Europe's elite competition, having scored 20 goals during his illustrious playing career at Old Trafford between 1996 and 2007.

Former Aston Villa and Valencia striker John Carew is next on the list with 18 to his name, while Haaland is just two goals further back after netting a combined total of 16 in the Champions League across his spells at Red Bull Salzburg and Dortmund.
