Super-agent Mino Raiola says Erling Haaland rejected the chance to sign with Manchester United, as well as 12 other clubs.

The 19-year-old striker signed with Borussia Dortmund on Sunday in a deal reportedly worth €20m.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Raiola said: "Everyone is speaking about Manchester United but there were 12 clubs interested in him.

"We had serious talks with everybody. At the end it is the athlete, it is the player that has to have the best feeling and the ultimate decision. We had serious talks with everybody and on the same grounds.

"I don't understand why in England there is such a buzz about why he has chosen Borussia Dortmund. He is a young player and he has all the time to come to the Premier League in his career and we hope there will be a time.

"He didn't feel it was the time at this point to move to the Premier League. Borussia Dortmund is a fantastic club and I think the best move for his development at this point.

"It is very difficult for a young boy to stand up in the Premier League. He is not the only young player that does not go the Premier League."
