Breaking news: Manchester United have finally revealed Haaland’s dream shirt number as they are set to complete his signing,Ralf Ragnick is ready for Manchester United with this guy .
Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick
is pushing for the club to sign Borussia
Dortmund star Erling Haaland.
The Norwegian striker looks likely to leave
the Bundesliga side next summer once his
£64m release clause kicks in.
Haaland, who has scored 19 goals in 16
appearances in all competitions so far this
season, is considered as one of the most
exciting players in the world and has no
shortage of admirers right across Europe.
As reported by Manchester Evening News,
the Red Devils are keen to sign the Norwegian
striker and could give him the dream shirt
number at the club.
Speculation over Haaland comes at a
time when the future of current United striker
Anthony Martial is under some doubt.
The 26-year-old Martial is expected to leave
United soon, either in January transfer window
or at the end of the season, with Rangnick
deciding he has no future at the club.
The French forward's agent recently
said: 'Anthony wishes to leave the club
in January.
‘He just needs to play. He doesn't want
to stay in January and I will speak to the
club soon.'
Sevilla are among the sides thought to
be keen on recruiting Martial - who signed
for the club in 2015.
Martial was originally handed the number
nine shirt when he joined the club, but
was forced to give it up when United signed
Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
After Ibrahimovic and successor Romelu
Lukaku left, Martial took the number nine
shirt again in 2019.
Should Martial leave it will free up the shirt
for Haaland should he decide to join the
Red Devils.
Haaland wears the number nine shirt
at Dortmund and it is expected that would
be his preferred choice at whatever club
he decides to move to.
Martial signed for Manchester United in
2015 for £36m, the highest fee paid for a
teenager at the time. He scored on his
debut against Liverpool at Old Trafford
in a 3-1 victory and went on to score 17
times in his first season at the club.
The 26-year-old has scored 79 goals
in all competitions across his time at
United, but has fallen out of favour in recent
seasons due in part to his inconsistent
form and the emergence of academy
graduate Mason Greenwood.
He last played for the club on December
2 in Michael Carrick's final game in charge
against Arsenal, coming off the bench
as a substitute in the 3-2 win.
