Erling Haaland's former agent Mino Raiola once confirmed the reason why the current Manchester City talisman snubbed local rivals United back in 2020 amid suggestions Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was to blame.
During Solskjaer's reign as United boss, rumours were rife that the Red Devils could pip the rest of Europe to the post and land Haaland's signature while he was still a Red Bull Salzburg player. The two Norwegians had previously worked alongside each other when Solskjaer was in charge of Molde.
Therefore, it seemed like United had the upper hand and would be able to lure Haaland to Old Trafford to ply his trade under his former boss. Instead, it was announced that the in-demand striker would join German giants Borussia Dortmund.
