# Manchester United: Fans flock to Erling Haaland update

**Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick is pushing to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland.**

That’s according to [The Manchester Evening News’ chief writer Samuel Luckhurst](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-united-transfer-haaland-rangnick-22527245), and a number of United fans have flocked to the update on social media.

Haaland came [close](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-united-transfer-haaland-rangnick-22527245) to making the move to Old Trafford two years ago and appears to be firmly back on the club’s radar ahead of the New Year.

The 21-year-old, who has scored [76](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/erling-haaland/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/418560) goals in [79](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/erling-haaland/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/418560) games for Borussia Dortmund, has a [€75m](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-united-transfer-haaland-rangnick-22527245) (£63.7m) release clause that becomes active in 2022 and looks set to leave the Bundesliga side.

According to [Luckhurst](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-united-transfer-haaland-rangnick-22527245), Rangnick has recently made contact with Haaland’s father over a possible move to United, with Champions League football essential to attract the forward.

Well-known page [@utdreport](https://twitter.com/utdreport/status/1473245203985281029) shared the news regarding Rangnick’s contact with Alf-Inge Haaland on Twitter. It didn’t take long for several United supporters to have their say on a possible move, with one labelling it as ‘huge’.
