Haaland is one of the most wanted young footballing prospects in Europe, courtesy his superb goalscoring form for Salzburg so far in the ongoing season.
The 19-year-old has already netted as many as 22 goals in 16 matches this season and some of the top European clubs like Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester United and Juventus have all been linked him for a potential move next season.
However, few unconfirmed reports state that Manchester United seem to be leading the race to sign Haaland as Solskjaer already has experience of working with Haaland.
For the uninitiated, Haaland’s senior debut at Molde was given to him by Solskjaer himself who was the manager of that team back then. Solskjaer, hence, is confident of getting the youngster on board next summer.
