Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said Erling Haaland could have signed for Manchester United for less than £20million had the club listened to his advice.
The former United manager handed a 16-year-old Haaland his professional debut while in charge of Norwegian club Molde in 2017.
The Manchester City star scored 20 goals in 50 appearances in all competitions in two seasons under Solskjaer, who informed United of Haaland's precocious talent in the summer of 2018.
It seems a bit odd for Højlund to get POTM. I'm no fan of Saka but wouldn't he have been more deserving (unless it's a tacit admission that United are fucking awful, and so the former had a harder time scoring for them).
Lose or even fail to win today and I thonk that's them out of the running for top 4.
United will still pull a rabbit out of a hat, but like Traitor boy, this feels like the beginning of the end for Ten Hag and his Old Trafford tenure.
I thought he was the right fit in truth, but with Guardiola and Klopp at the same time, I think it's nigh on impossible to penetrate what has been a near duopoly.
They're not the ones responsible for him being shit..... And even then that would still leave the capacity for them/him being 3rd best.
How are you making your assessment? What netric and what consideration of other factors?
That's the same joke with different women about four times now. That's delusion not exuding positivity. You've got more chance of seeing Natalie Cassidy and her blowing her trumpet.This man is sharing a step with myself and Richard Arlison . Exudes positivity.
Nothing more powerful than self belief.
Today I’m going to visit Primark in Corby with the aim of bumping into Natalie Imbruglia. As it’s a Leap year she can propose to me.
Wish me luck. Not that I need it. I have self belief.

You go first...... What you just said amounts to a piss poor excuse for him (and you).
Klopp and Guardiola in particular, have been in a position to cherry pick the best players. An instant advantage.
On top of that, both are exceptional coaches and have both overseen periods of high performance and success. To break that is some challenge and we see how good (sadly) Arsen al have had to be to get even close.
United have who that would get into the first team of either? So what you then need is a manager who is arguably better than both to bridge the gap.
I don't think that is realistic or even possible and probably can only think of Mourinho (at his psychological best) who might have got close.
And that's also why I have grudging recognitiom of the Mysteron, if hoping that the nightmare scenario doesn't turn into a reality.
The only time you know you have a side who are ready to usurp both is when that side cam beat either home amd away. United can't under Ten Hag and not sure which manager they can find who will.
Same problem for the 4 or 5 clubs who realistically can have that expectation.
