Manchester United reportedly leading pursuit of Chelsea-linked Haaland

Manchester United are reportedly leading the chase for Norwegian forward Erling Braut Haaland.

A report from Dagbladet claims that the forward is more likely to join the Red Devils due to playing under United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer back in Norway.

Haaland and Solskjaer were together at Molde, before making the move to Red Bull Solskjaer.

Solskjaer has reportedly made a proposal to sign the player, but it is not yet known whether this is to United themselves or to Salzburg.

Chelsea have reportedly been linked with a move for Haaland, with the club scouting the striker, according to the Mail.

Haaland has emerged as one of Europe’s top forwards, with his multiple goals in the UEFA Champions League putting him on wish lists of several top sides.

The Blues could make a move, but it would really depend on how well Tammy Abraham does for the rest of the season.

With other clubs circling, the Blues could find themselves out of the race to sign the forward.
