Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has lifted the lid on how the Black and Yellows beat Manchester United to the signing of Erling Haaland.
Haaland, 21, joined the Bundesliga side from RB Salzburg in January 2020 in a deal worth just £18m
Although the German side ended up winning the race for the prolific Norweigan’s signature, the winter window of 2020 saw the Red Devils come agonisingly close to poaching the 21-year-old themselves.
Haaland’s connection with former Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer appeared, at the time, to be the driving force behind the 20-time league winners’ pursuit of arguably the sport’s biggest prospect.
