Manchester United are frontrunners to sign Erling Haaland despite the Red Bull Salzburg striker visiting German clubs this week.

The 19-year-old, who has scored eight goals in the Champions League this season, is believed to be favouring Old Trafford as his next destination over a move to the Bundesliga.

He has visited the training grounds of RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund and has not made his final decision known. But United are prominent in his thoughts, according to sources in Austria.

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer worked with the striker at Molde, when Haaland broke into the first team of the Norwegian side before securing a move to Austria last season.

And Solskjaer is still in pole position to work with the teenager again despite interest from Europe’s top clubs.

Dortmund are looking for a No9 and would offer regular football to Haaland, while Leipzig and Salzburg are both owned by Red Bull which would make a deal easier.
