Erling Haaland tipped to be a better fit for Manchester United
According to Express, Dietmar Hamann feels that Manchester United would be a better fit for Erling Haaland. The former Manchester City midfielder spoke out on whether Manchester United or City would be a good fit for the Borussia Dortmund starlet.
Erling Haaland is a name that has doing the rounds for them given the club tried to sign him from RB Salzburg in January 2020. He decided to join Borussia Dortmund in the end and the 20-year old has been ridiculously prolific since joining the German club over a year ago.
However, they are set to face competition from their ‘noisy neighbours’ for Haaland’s signature. Speaking on that, Hamann felt that the red side of Manchester could suit the Norwegian much better.
“I don’t think Haaland is a Manchester City player. I can’t see him joining Man City and I’m not sure whether City will be interested in him. Pep has got rid of some centre-forwards in the past. The way they play, they like to pass the ball around, I’m not sure whether Haaland would suit Man City or fit in there.
At Manchester United, they have so many quick players and like to counter-attack, I think Haaland will suit United a lot better than City.”

Hamann added that Borussia Dortmund could be forced into a sale of Haaland and Sancho if they miss out on the Champions League next season.
Given how Martial has blown hot and cold through the season as well as Cavani’s ageing, bringing in a striker of Haaland’s calibre can solve our striker issues.
