  • Ralf Rangnick will not make efforts to lure impressive Erling Haaland to Manchester United according to reports
  • Haaland has been heavily linked with several clubs including United, but the Red Devils’ boss seems uninterested
  • Rangnick stated that Manchester United have more than enough quality strikers and he is ready to work with them

Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick has disclosed that it does not make sense to spend heavily on a striker like Erling Haaland, Metro reports.

The Borussia Dortmund forward has become a major target for several top European clubs, but United fans who are hoping to see the Norwegian become a Red Devils need to hold their breath.

It appears the Old Trafford club won’t be attempting to sign the striker anytime soon as reports from Germany claim Rangnick dismissed he could offer just €10m (£8.5m) if he managed to convince Haaland to move to Old Trafford.

The manager said via SPORTbible:

"Let me have a look; £10 million for Erling Haaland, £10m for Kylian Mbappe, £10m for Robert Lewandowski, £10m for Joshua Kimmich. This is nonsense obviously, there are no such clauses in my contract.
"It doesn't make sense. I'm more than happy [with the squad]. The offensive strike power we have here, all of the offensive players we have here, quite a few of them didn't play yesterday [against Arsenal] - Martial only came on in the last five minutes, Mason [Greenwood] didn't play at all.
“We have so many top players in the offensive department that we don't need to speak about any other players."

Rangnick has previous history with Haaland after being involved in the move to bring him to RB Salzburg from Molde in January 2019.

United stars unhappy with how Rangnick was appointed

Meanwhile, a number of Manchester United players were not impressed with how Ralf Rangnick was appointed by the club.

The 63-year-old German tactician will now take over at the club until the end of the season following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Quite a number of the squad members were left unhappy with the lack of information about the decision from the club according to reports.

Fans dig out Rangnick’s earlier comments about Ronaldo

Legit.ng earlier reported that with Ralf Rangnick set to take up Manchester United job temporarily, comments by the manager over Cristiano Ronaldo has now been made public.

It was gathered that following the tactician’s earlier comments about the player, Ronaldo might have little chance at the Old Trafford.

It was gathered that the tactician is famous for his clear philosophy on how he intends to play, which could spell disaster for Cristiano.
