Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and technical director John Murtough are in agreement over Erling Haaland.The Manchester Evening News says the pair are set to sit down in September to discuss recruitment, with a solution to the number nine role expected to be a priority conversation.Solskjaer and Murtough are said to both agree on Erling Haaland being the preferred long-term option to lead the line at Old Trafford.United missed out on the Borussia Dortmund striker back in January 2020, prior to him joining the German club and subsequently scoring 62 goals in 63 games to date.Despite Haaland's agent, Mino Raiola, having caused Solskjaer and co a great deal of issues in recent years with Paul Pogba's contract situation, United are set to be in the hunt for the 21-year-old sensation next summer when his 75million (£68m) release clause becomes active.A move would reunite the Norwegian boss and his compatriot striker - who was born in Leeds but grew up in Norway - after they worked together at Molde before Haaland left to sign for RB Salzburg in 2019.Despite their connection, the goalscorer supreme's affiliation to Manchester City (his father spent three years in sky blue) and the fact they remain in the market for a new striker means the Citizens could well put their hat in the already packed ring in the hope of securing his signature in 12 months' timeNeed a VPN?
