Still the most punchable smug face in football, with a scumbag agent who needs to just disappear. Don't want.
Yeah I’m thinking the same. If we still look turd come the summer window then were not even in the mix as an option really.Now that we have Rangnick we have a slim shot to prove that we are a serious club and maybe we can attrack Haaland in the summer.
HahaI've unzipped.
He was a link, but not the only one. In fact he left Molde for Salzburg, and Rangnick was influential in that move. So you are replacing the manager Erling left with the manager he moved to. Not so bad I think.I genuinely think Ole was our link to Erling, and with him gone there isn’t too much to attract him to Utd - over the likes of Real Madrid or City, where he will definitely win something, and will have CL footy every year.
Where can Haaland even play when we have Ronaldo up front. United are hardly selling him in the summer. Also it's hard to convince him to join when united are in the Europa league next season.
You really think Ole could attract Haaland? he couldnt do it when he was at Salzburg, nevermind at Dortmund. Players like Haaland have the whole world to choose from, only a fool would think they'll choose a club because the manager used to coach him when he was in the lower divisions, specially when that manager is bang average/poor.I genuinely think Ole was our link to Erling, and with him gone there isn’t too much to attract him to Utd - over the likes of Real Madrid or City, where he will definitely win something, and will have CL footy every year.
Why do people assume Raiola is like some kind of puppet-master who just directs his clients' career? That's now how football agents work. If Haaland finds a club that consistently challenges on all fronts, I don't see him leaving that situation only after a few seasons, especially at his young age. Whoever gets him will definitely have to deal with rumors, pressure to improve his contract or he walks, etc...but that's what any good agent does, and that's what you deal with when it comes to any star players.This kid is Raiola's new Zlatan. I don't see Haaland committing to clubs for more than a few seasons. Even if he came here and did a job for three seasons we'd still have to endure the unending off the field circus that comes with Raiola.
Do we really want to splash a record fee on another one of his major clients? I'd rather focus on Greenwood's development. His immediate future lies in the CF role and could save us millions.
People just can't accept that Haaland hired Raiola to represent him, and Raiola works for Haaland, not the other way around. EPL is the most competitive league, has the most global attention and generate the most money. He will come to EPL next summer.Why do people assume Raiola is like some kind of puppet-master who just directs his clients' career? That's now how football agents work.

If United thinks it's okay to pass up on him to develop Greenwood, it's not a good sign for their intention. It's not even a knock on Greenwood, I think he's brilliant in his own right, but he hasn't shown a thing in comparison to what Haaland is doing, and he will never be that kind of player anyways just based on the difference in physicality. I really think the two of them can co-exist but I think it's absolutely mental to think Greenwood's development takes precedence over the chance at getting Haaland. It's all kind of moot anyways because I think there's very low chances of Haaland even coming here when there's better alternatives within the same league and abroad at the moment and for the foreseeable future.
Yeah, too right.People just can't accept that Haaland hired Raiola to represent him, and Raiola works for Haaland, not the other way around. EPL is the most competitive league, has the most global attention and generate the most money. He will come to EPL next summer.
La Liga looks absolutely dead to me.
If they are craving to go then so be it I guess.
Taking the easy way out like plenty of good players do.
Ya it would be a terrible move at the minute. Looks like it's getting worse every month too. He should go to bayern or PL
Graham Hunter said a few days ago, that Perez has the funds to land both Mbappe and Haaland and that is the plan for next summer. Whether he can land both remains to be seen.
He also said if it isnt Madrid then it will be either Bayern or City and that's it. Haaland wants to win the biggest trophies and needs a club setup to do that.
I wouldn’t discount Liverpool or city from the Mbappe and Haaland race the longer the season goes on. I think we are in a pretty poor position for either currently. Back in rebuild mode. A tonne of expensive players for every attacking position already. Mino and the Pogba situation dragging on. I was pretty confident of getting haaland if we’d a good season under Ole and re- signed Pogba but that was before we signed Ronaldo and Ole crashed out.
Real will throw the kitchen sink at Mbappe on a free so that’s him probably gone. Haaland goes to city I reckon. Same job. Half a million a week. At those figures I’d rather we went for Vlahovic or someone else and a couple of midfielders.
They won't stop there. They will want to put Bruno behind it.Vinicius Jnr, Haaland, Mbappe
Frightening.
Roy Keane.I want to know people's opinion-
There's been talks about Rangnick trying to bring Haaland here because of their link up in the past.
Now I dont see Haaland joining here just because Rangnick is the coach, especially when he is on a short term managerial contract.
If Rangnick is going to bring him here, he is going to have to give a hint to Haaland about who Haaland's next manager will be especially as its been said that Rangnick's will choose the manager who should take over him.
So which future manager could tempt Haaland to join us here? Who would he want to play for after Rangnick's 6 months management spell goes and he becomes part of the board?
He’s on Monday Night Football tonight.
I didn't say its bad, but its like 4 goals in 5 games per year over the past 3 years, against mostly very poor opponents. Its really nothing special there, and definitely not "killing it" at international stage yet.
That's all the opponents he has scored against in the past 3 years so far:
Gibraltar - 3 goals (rank 203)
Romania - 3 goals (rank 44)
N. Ireland - 2 goals (rank 54)
Netherland - 1 goal (rank 10)
Austria - 1 goal (rank 30)
Latvia - 1 goal (rank 134)
Luxembourg - 1 goal (rank 93)
Basically he only managed to score more than 1 goal against very weak opponents. It still a decent return in average, but nothing outstanding.
Who Haaland? Why would he be on Sky's Monday Night Football? OMG, he's joining Arsenal!!!
