Ole Gunnar Solskjaer messaged Erling Haaland to wish him well on 'the wrong side' of Manchester after the Borussia Dortmund striker completed a move to Manchester City.
Haaland, 21, has moved to the Etihad this summer in a £51m deal as he looks to continue his stratospheric rise in the game. He arrived at Norwegian first-division side Molde as a 16-year-old and hit it off instantly with Solskjaer, scoring 20 goals in 50 games to earn a move to RB Salzburg and then, a year later, Dortmund.
Solskjaer has remained in contact with Haaland throughout his career and nearly signed the player for United in 2019. United sources insist they pulled out of a deal to sign the Norway international because they refused to agree to a buyout clause and percentage of future sales, with sources describing the proposed terms as 'bad for the industry'.
