Red Bull Salzburg hotshot Haaland now Man Utd priority target

Red Bull Salzburg hotshot Erling Haaland is now Manchester United's priority target for 2020.

AS says United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made the teenager his top target ahead of next season.

However United will face a battle with Madrid, who are also believed to be keen on bringing him to the Bernabeu.

It is claimed that Haaland 'fits like a glove' as Madrid are keen on finding a long-term replacement for Karim Benzema, who turns 31 in December.

The 19-year-old has scored a remarkable 18 goals in 11 appearances this season, and after a recent illness, he climbed off the bench to notch Salzburg's equaliser in this month's Champions League clash with Liverpool at Anfield, which the Reds ultimately went on to win 4-3.
