Manchester United: Fans question Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s excuse for Erling Haaland sighting

According to an update on Twitter from Daily Mirror journalist David McDonnell, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has denied that rumoured target Erling Haaland has touched down in the city to sign at Old Trafford – claiming his compatriot is only en-route for a Christmas holiday.
The Norwegian target man was revealed to be flying to Manchester Airport recently, prompting sections of supporters to go crazy over him potentially signing for the Red Devils – but Solskjaer has since attempted to calm things down by claiming he was only there taking a route for a Christmas holiday.
However, some United supporters do not buy the excuse, and think perhaps that their manager is just trying to cover the trail ahead of the unveiling.
As a result, some Red Devils fans have praised the manager’s bold attempt to potentially hide his transfer – taking to Twitter and hailing the cheek of their gaffer.
Here’s what they had to say.
Ole the trickster

It is going to be a late reveal like all the other signings eg awb,Maguire,dj all took about 2 weeks to announce even though we already knew they were signing
