According to the media, Manchester United will compete with Barca, Real Madrid and other giants in the summer window for Haaland. In an interview with The Mirror, the veteran manager Allardyce believed that missing Haaland twice was the biggest mistake United had ever made.
In 2018 and 2020, Manchester United twice missed the opportunity to sign Haaland. After moving to Borussia Dortmund, Haaland became one of Europe's best centre-forwards, scoring 80 goals in 79 appearances since joining Borussia Dortmund in January 2020, maintaining an efficiency of one goal per game.
In an interview, Allardyce believed the failure to sign Haaland was the biggest mistake United had ever made.
"I still think that if United sign Haaland, then Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will not lose his position. Why United decided not to sign Haaland has always puzzled me. After all, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had coached him. ”
"The media says it's because of financial issues, however, it's the biggest mistake Manchester United and not Ole has made. I think if United signed Haaland, Solskjaer would still be in charge of Manchester United. ”
In addition to Manchester United, Manchester City, Barca and Real Madrid are all interested in signing Haaland. Allardyce noted that "whoever gets him will give the team a huge boost. He scores 30 goals a season, and if you get him, that means he scores at least 30 goals every season, and it's going to last 7 or 8 years. ”
"You're never really in trouble. But the rest of the team must also live up to his expectations as he craves something to win. ”
According to the media, Haaland prefers to switch to Real Madrid, but Allardyce believes that Manchester United has a certain advantage, "I think the biggest advantage of Manchester United lies in their financial plans, because Real Madrid and Barca are not rich in financial resources at present." They have never been so poor. ”
