I bet he doesn't leave for 50 million in 2023, he will sign a new contract doubling his wages either removing or increasing the release clause.
Erling Haaland | Dortmund player

Let’s be honest, he made the right career move. Good luck to the lad, seems like a great talent.
Think he has two big money moves in him. Can't believe how low his release clause is!
It's so he can easily move next season then do it again a couple years later
So he's slamming in a goal every 10 minutes. The kid has a Ronaldo-level obsession with goal hunting.
Well, they are obligated to. It’s not their choice. And ever since the Neymar fiasco they have been adjusted upwards a lot at Real, Barca and throughout the league.
Probably doubling both the wages and the release clause. Both parties would gain from it. He will get a big move in a few years anyway with his record.
Hope he continues doing great and join Real Madrid and play along with fellow man Odegaard
Yep but we are Man United and we won't bow to such demands. fecking dumbass Woodward the cnut!
Well I guess Bayern now have secured their option to replace Lewa in the future. Lucky feckers.
Would Bayern go for Werner or Haaland?
Sucks for us, but he made the right move for his career and I don't blame him one bit. He's reaping the rewards for making a smart career move. Fair play to him. If he'd come to us he'd have 0 goals in 2 games.
The amount of times United is referenced whenever this kid does something is pretty incredible. It's as if United had him locked and just decided to reject him. He chose Dortmund, United gave it a try, who cares how the story was spun? He's at Dortmund now for the next year or two, and he will most likely go to Barcelona next, while Mbappe goes to Real Madrid. It will be fun to see those two over the next decade.
And probably injured already.
This guy is a bonafide maniac. His abilities is absolutely preposterous for such a young player, and to be built like he is on top of it.
Indeed. I think he has an immaculate concentration.
We should have signed him and specified terms for the clause. Silly given what happened when Martial was out and knowing Rashford had been playing through pain.
19 years old
Are we witnessing the new Ronaldo?
His release clause is low, but you're not really appreciating how his next transfer is intended to work and how players are now seizing power back from elite clubs. United can make a Cm offer in summer 2020 and pay the release clause, but it means feck all unless you offer Haaland and his agent the terms and the fees they want to execute it. It's basically a new form of co-ownership. Rather than Raiola, Haaland and his father owning Haaland's playing rights, they remain in control of his destiny but signing contracts where his club is contractually undervaluing him with them retaining the rest of his value through the power they hold
You want to sign Haaland next, should he be successful over the next 18 months? You're looking at €60m to Dortmund, another €40m to Raiola, probably a similar fee to Haaland, as well as basic wages of €350,000 per week.
You're going to find fewer elite superstars signing long term contracts with clubs without exit clauses unless you offer them astronomical contracts. Players and their agents are not going to allow the transfer market to be dictated by £100m+ transfer fees, when the alternative is for them to absorb the income by carefully holding the balance of power by signing selective contracts.
Dortmund wouldn't be able to afford any offer that he would be advised to sign. They know that they are essentially leasing him for a couple of years.
Surely his 16 goals from the Austrian league would count towards his season total, which would be worth 12 goals in Germany and taking his total to 17, 6 behind Immobile in Italy.
To be honest, no. He isn't comparable in any way to an early Ronaldo or Messi and has nothing like the touch or skill they showed at that age. Good goal as it was, he hasn't got anything like the poise and balance those two showed. He could become a fantastic long-term goalscorer which we'll regret not buying quite easily though.
Are those people who claimed we were too good to meet his demands still sticking to their guns? In our current, shite state - how are we even as good as Dortmund, let alone better club, and why would it be below us to accept something Dortmund accepted? I mean - seriously, all the bullshit aside. Even if he was going to leave in 3 years, would it not have been worth it? And if we returned to old glory, in part with his help, why would he force exit?
In short - where the feck was any logic in us missing out on him?
Yeap, and ice cold nerves. Pretty good technique too. Not a bad trifecta.

Aguero or Suarez level?
Delusions of grandeur.
If the player was ready to sign for us and we rejected him, then we can search for logic and reasons. When it was battle between 3-4 clubs and he picked the club that is best for him, there is nothing much we can do about it. Football world doesn't revolve around ManUtd as much as few ManUtd fans and English media wants us to believe.
I don't understand the obsession, player rejects the clubs. It happens all the time but for some reason ManUtd fans are like obsessed ex who just can't move on from failed transfers. Maybe the current league position is playing the big role.
Was best move for him but ffs frustrating....he'll never play for Utd.
Sums up how gullible a lot of this fanbase is. Woodward briefed the press that 'we backed out because we were never going to be held hostage'. These deluded fans are treating that as gospel and chest-thumping because 'we are not a stepping stone'.
What they're failing to comprehend is if there is any truth in those briefings then we basically snubbed one of the hottest properties in a position we desperately needed strengthening... for pride. And now we're scraping the barrel in the search for a short term option in that very position. Where's that pride now?
For what it's worth I think the reality is that he rejected us, not the other way around. I hope most people can see right through this face saving embarrassment from the specialist in failure.
Yeah painful as it is to admit he has made the best move for his career rather than going somewhere with a very toxic and poisonous atmosphere which is not a good place to develop for someone right now. Shame that we are going to end up being left with a striker who isn't good enough to get games at another club.
If we offered the same deal and he still chose Dortmund - then yes, you are right, but if the reports that we just didn't want to offer the same deal – because we thought giving him the same deal was beneath us – then we fecked up, and it's OK to say that we fecked up. We cannot know which one is true, but a bunch of posters said it was indeed beneath us to offer the same deal, which is what my comment was all about.
That drive, that powers, that finishing. Exactly the type of striker United need to have.
What do you mean by same deal, wages or the rumored release clause?
There was plenty of reports (from German media who were ahead of others) weeks before he signed saying he will sign for Dortmund. Maybe he agreed to sign for Dortmund long back and that is why Ole went to meet him personally.
Shame football leaks don't hack the documents anymore.
I find it weird that instead of appreciating and enjoying the player, people just moan about the club in every thread. It is very logical to believe that Haaland rejected us as he felt Dortmund are good for his development. Going by their record with attacking players, it makes sense from player point of view too.
I'm curious on why we showed interest only when Riola started to get involved, or Dortmund approached. Why not before?
What are you up to these days, I heard United are in a need for DOF...
We are simple club, We see a player wanting to leave, We try to get him. Outside of that We do nothing.
Yeh. It looks like the Club is always reactive, never pro-active. You'd think that Ole would know this Norwegian gem before a club from Germany knew.
Hate this feeling.
He is like that junior kid who is big, strong and fast taking your place in the team. He is so good you can't deny it and just let him take it.
He got it all, Haaland.

If the clauses in his contract are true, him and his team have been extremely wise. Why go to a top club at this time, where he’ll barely get any game time, be farmed out to all different clubs, and probably struggle with form and confidence. Or, why go to a smaller club and then in a couple of years time be stuck in a contract with the club refusing to let you go and nobody willing to match the insane valuation.
instead this works perfectly. He goes to Dortmund, probably scores 50+ goals over the next couple of years, at which point Dortmund get the initial amount they paid, plus the wages back, and a bit on top of that. For them it’s almost like a loan deal where they’ll likely come out of it in profit. But for that reason I can also see why United weren’t interested.

Exceptional finisher, always hits it into the ground one v one and leaves keeper for dead. Mentality seems very special. Made the right move as Dortmund is a great place to go to for technical development and improving his game outside the box.
