Erling Haaland came close to joining Manchester United (Getty Images)Red Bull Salzburg’s sporting director, Christoph Freund, claims Erling Haaland will join Liverpool ahead of Manchester United. Haaland was wanted by United last December but the 20-year-old turned down the chance to move to Old Trafford and joined Borussia Dortmund instead. The striker has continued his impressive scoring record since swapping Red Bull Salzburg for Dortmund with 24 goals in 27 appearances for the German club. ‘That’s where he will land,’ Freund said on Sky Sports Germany when discussing Haaland’s potential move to Liverpool in the future. Solskjaer met with Haaland last winter in an attempt to convince him to join United but Dortmund ended up winning the race and agreeing a £17.1m deal with Red Bull Salzburg.
