Red Bull Salzburg chief Christoph Freund is urging Erling Haaland not to leave next month.

Freund believes it is “too soon" for Manchester United target Haaland to leave the Austrian club.

He told the Mirror: “It's too fast for Erling.

"This year it's a little bit strange because everything is going so fast. Also there's interest in a lot of other players...Hee Chan Hwang, people seeing him play.

"Normally there's a healthy increase when they're one and a half or two years here in the first team.

"Erling has only been here five months in the team, sure he's outstanding… but, it's football."
