There are so many football stars in the world, but only a few can truly be called superstars. Therefore, when some clubs have had the opportunity but missed out on signing certain superstars, it's truly a regret that comes too late. Recently, former Manchester United manager Solskjaer revealed in an interview that he had the chance to sign today's football giant Erling Haaland, but unfortunately missed out due to some reasons. So, what were these reasons?
Haaland has been one of the brightest stars alongside Mbappe in recent years. Last season, he immediately broke the Premier League's record for the most goals scored in a single season and won the Premier League Golden Boot. Although his goal tally this season was not as high as last season due to injuries, Haaland remains the most threatening player on the field whenever he plays.
With such exceptional talent, Manchester United once hoped to snatch Haaland from their cross-city rivals. Recently, former Manchester United manager Solskjaer revealed in an interview on 'The Overlap' show that he had recommended the club to sign the player not once, but twice during his coaching tenure. At that time, Haaland was still relatively unknown, and Manchester United could have secured his signature for just €20 million. Solskjaer expressed his confidence in the young talent, urging the club to act swiftly, stating that Haaland would become a top-tier player.
However, Manchester United's top management turned down Solskjaer's recommendations. They claimed to have sufficient reports about Haaland and, after careful consideration, decided against signing the player. Despite Solskjaer's subsequent attempts to persuade them, the club remained adamant, ultimately missing out on the opportunity to secure the superstar at a bargain price. Haaland later joined Manchester City for a release clause fee of €60 million. |
