Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reportedly been in frequent contact with Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland over a potential transfer to Old Trafford.
The Norway international has been a world class performer for Dortmund, scoring an incredible 49 goals in 49 games since joining the club midway through last season.
One of the most exciting young talents in world football right now, it seems only a matter of time before Haaland is snapped up by one of Europe's elite.
It seems Solskjaer is doing his bit to try and lure his former Molde player to Man Utd, as Spanish outlet AS claim he's calling his fellow countryman regularly to convince him to join.
Haaland would undoubtedly be an upgrade on United's other attacking players right now, with the goals drying up for Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood of late.
Even Marcus Rashford hasn't quite been at his best this season, with midfielder Bruno Fernandes currently the club's top scorer.
