​Man Utd target Haaland: Someone has to follow Ibrahimovic

RB Salzburg striker Erling Braut Haaland says that he wants to follow in the footsteps of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The 19-year-old is one of the top rated attackers in Europe at the moment.

He managed a hat trick in his first Champions League game this month in a 6-2 win over Genk.

And Haaland is a target for the likes of Manchester United, who could make a winter move considering their woes in attack.

"There is something about the way he [Ibrahimovic] got good and the way he plays," Haaland told Norwegian channel TV2.

"For me, Zlatan is the biggest. He is from Scandinavia, so someone has to take over from him."
