TOP STORY: Haaland wants Man United move

Every man and his dog seems to want a piece of Salzburg's Erling Haaland at the moment, but the Daily Star now reports that the striker has made it clear he wants to join Manchester United.

The teenage sensation lit up this season's Champions League group stage, scoring eight goals in six appearances -- sending scouts across Europe scrambling in the process. Sources have told ESPN that Man United are ready to make a formal offer for the 19-year-old in January, while Salzburg's sister club RB Leipzig have a "good feeling" about Haaland after meeting with the striker and his representatives on Wednesday.

On Friday it was the turn of Man United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to meet with his fellow Norwegian, who has also met with Borussia Dortmund, and the player said Old Trafford is his first choice.

There is bound to be a scramble this month, especially with reports that he is available for £20m January.

And he has a new suitor, according to Corriere dello Sport.

The Italian outlet reports that Juventus have put forward a contract believed to be worth around €3 million per season in wages for the Norway international.
