Man United transfer news: Erling Haaland 'priority' signing this summer

Manchester United have long felt they have a significant card up their sleeve in the race for Erling Haaland.

The Norwegian has scored 33 goals in 30 appearances this season, catapulting him into yet another race for his signature a little over a year after joining Borussia Dortmund.

United boast one major advantage in that tug-of-war, of course, under the management of the 20-year-old's compatriot and former Molde coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Per Transfermarkt, Haaland is currently valued at €110 million. A price tag of such magnitude put United off signing Jadon Sancho last summer, but they may feel differently when it comes to signing a new centre-forward.

Anthony Martial, who has often operated in a lone role role, has scored just four Premier League goals this season. Performances like one conjured up by the Frenchman against Manchester City are all too few.

Edinson Cavani, meanwhile, is 34 and there are reportedly frustrations surrounding his fitness.

All that suggests there could be something in the persistent links to Haaland - and, in fact, the Manchester Evening News have now gone a step further.

The newspaper reports that United have now "settled" on him as their "priority" centre-forward signing as they feel they have never properly replaced Romelu Lukaku.

There have been some quick fixes - moving a number of United's wider forwards into a central role and even scrambling to sign Odion Ighalo on loan - but the void left by Lukaku's departure for Inter Milan has never been filled.

Per the same report, United have also considered signing Tottenham's Harry Kane, but Spurs believe their Premier League rivals would not be able to afford him.

That has solidified Haaland as their number one choice and they are willing to sanction his wage demands of around £350,000.
