Manchester City have announced a deal with Borussia Dortmund for Erling Haaland ahead of the summer transfer window. This is a huge blow for many Manchester United fans who hoped the Norwegian striker would join the club in the past.
United wanted to sign Haaland while he was at RB Salzburg and they hoped that the striker's history with then-manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would convince him to come to Old Trafford. However, United's reluctance to add a release clause to the 21-year-old striker's contract meant that he instead moved to the German club.
That release clause is what United's noisy neighbours have now activated to sign Haaland, with the striker moving to Manchester for a relative steal of £51million. And with his signing, many Premier League fans are already writing off next season's title race.
