Man Utd are out of the Erling Haaland race, while Leeds have been watching a Brazilian and Aston Villa are lining up a move for an England Under-21 international, all in paper talk.

The Old Trafford club are hunting for a new No 9 this summer, Ralf Rangnick’s has previously admitted as much. And that makes sense with Edinson Cavani set to leave on a free and the futures of Marcus Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo far from secure.
Borussia Dortmund’s prolific Norway striker will not be pursued though.
United “indicated to Haaland and his representatives earlier this season they would be willing to match any financial offer he received from another club”. But they were told that Haaland was considering the “sporting project” and not just where he could earn the most money.
Manchester City and Real Madrid “lead the race” to land the player if he decided to leave the Bundesliga club this summer.
