Manchester United transfer news: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ...

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer refused to be drawn on speculation linking Manchester United with Erling Braut Haaland.

Haaland has taken this season’s Champions League by storm, scoring six goals in three appearances for Red Bull Salzburg.

The 19-year-old, son of former Manchester City midfielder Alf-Inge, played under Solskjaer at Molde before joining Salzburg in January.

Solskjaer has made no secret of United’s desire to sign a striker as soon as possible following the summer departure of Romelu Lukaku.

Haaland would appear to be an ideal candidate, given his existing relationship with the United manager.

Solskjaer did not rule out a move for the highly-coveted teenager but did not believe it was right to speak about another club’s player.

“I don't think it's the time now for me to talk about other team's strikers,” he said after United’s 1-0 win over Partizan Belgrade.

“I spoke about Harry Kane yesterday and Erling today, I don't think it's right for me.”

Haaland scored 20 goals in 50 appearances under Solskjaer during his time at Molde but has the same number in just 13 games for Salzburg this season.
