[마이데일리 = 최용재 기자]There was an opportunity for Erling Haaland (Manchester City) to wear a Manchester United jersey. but it failed What happened?
Haaland has been under heavy criticism lately. In the last game against Tottenham, he showed a sluggish appearance, and Man City lost 0-1. Then Holland degenerated into a neighborhood drum. He was even reported to be leaving the team at the end of the season.
In particular, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher criticized Haaland for picking the wrong team. Then, the teams that expressed interest in Haaland before the transfer to Man City were summoned again. A representative team is Man Utd.
The British ‘Mirror’ published an article pointing out, “Who is to blame for Haaland not joining Manchester United?”
The media reported, “During his two and a half years at Dortmund, Haaland became the most popular striker in Europe. Many clubs were interested, and he had a close relationship with Manchester United before his signing was confirmed.”
The reason the Manchester United transfer rumor drew attention was because the manager of Manchester United at the time was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. He is from Norway like Holland, and his pupil was Holland when he directed Molde FK in Norway. For this reason, the possibility that Solskjaer and Holland, who know each other well, could unite has been raised.
But in the end, Haaland wore the shirt of local rivals Manchester City, not Manchester United. ‘Mirror’ claimed, “Surprisingly, the reason Haaland didn’t choose Manchester United was because of Solskjaer.”
In fact, earlier this year, Manchester United legend Gary Neville asked Haaland ‘why he’s not coming to Manchester United’, and Haaland replied, “Ask Solskjaer.”
