Erling Braud Haaland has fuelled speculation over a future move to Manchester United.

The 20-year-old striker snubbed United to sign for Borussia Dortmund during the January transfer window.

However, Haaland has spoken very kindly about United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjae, who he credits for helping him develop as a player while in charge of Norwegian club Molde.

"I arrived at Molde as a young kid, and he helped me a lot," Haaland told FourFourTwo.

"He was a good finisher, and helped me with striking skills and different finishing methods. He's been important in my career."

Haaland also praised former United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and claimed he would like to follow the same career path of playing for clubs in different countries.

"I like his [Ibrahimovic's] mentality and how he sees different things. I think I've always had that confidence, too – that's just me," he added.

"I also like how he moves from one club to another, in another country – which isn't easy – but he always comes in and just bangs in goals, from the first second. I liked seeing that."
