Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would lead extra finishing drills for Erling Haaland after regular training had finished during their two years together at Molde FK. Haaland was the worst kept secret in a small coastal town with a population below 30,000.
In a parallel universe somewhere, Solskjaer has rekindled his relationship with Haaland and the pair are working on his finishing at Carrington just after first-team training. Solskjaer has just overseen his third full season in charge of Manchester United as permanent manager and the club have just signed Haaland from Borussia Dortmund after activating his £51m release clause.
In reality, Solskjaer was sacked in October, United have endured their worst season in over three decades and Haaland has just joined rivals Manchester City. It was thought this season couldn't get any worse for United, but the official announcement of Haaland's arrival at the Etihad on Tuesday afternoon felt like another nail in the coffin. Haaland is the world's most exciting centre-forward.
