I can’t remember who told me, but I heard we were close to signing him at one point until one of our execs (Woodward if memory serves) suggested he was lucky to be signing for United and he took offence and walked out.Ole recommended Haaland (to who exactly, I don't know, but someone at United) while Haaland was still at Molde, in other words before Ole took the interim - and subsequently permanent - manager gig at United.
I've always taken this to mean: Ole tried to do United a favour (having realized that Haaland was a special player/talent).
Probably made up, but the fact it’s believable is painful.
