Hello football lovers,

Here I come your way with great news from the world of football specifically from the camp of the football player Erling Haaland. The Norwegian striker appears to be on his way out of Borussia Dortmund this summer, with a slew of top European clubs lining up to recruit him.

If Ralf Rangnick is making a strong bid for Manchester United's Erling Haaland, as is being claimed, it could be a match made in heaven. The Norwegian striker appears to be on his way out of Borussia Dortmund this summer, with a slew of top clubs vying for his signature. We know exactly who those teams are because to Haaland's agent, Mino Raiola.

Raiola, who isn't afraid to speak his mind, recently stated that "Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Man City are the top teams he can go to." City has won the Premier League five times in the last few years, which is much more than United. Ralf Rangnick is believed to be after Haaland. He would later clarify those remarks, saying that any of "the top 15 European clubs" would be appealing to his client, but he didn't specifically identify United.

Of course, Raiola's relationship with United is strained, with another client, Paul Pogba, appearing increasingly likely to leave on a free transfer at the end of the season. However, many of those annoyances are thought to have sprung from Ed Woodward, who will be leaving United in the near future. Rangnick, who is now interim manager but will transition to a consultancy post at the end of the season, will be tasked with smoothing things up and assisting the club in signing Haaland.

Rangnick is attempting to make Old Trafford Haaland's home, according to our colleagues at the Manchester Evening News. And if he shows up in the summer, he might be sporting the ideal shirt number. Anthony Martial's shirt number history with Manchester United has been up and down, with the No.9 being his first choice when he joined the club in 2015.

He was almost forced to give it up for Zlatan Ibrahimovic a year later, so he moved to the No.11, but after Ibrahimovic and the next incumbent, Romelu Lukaku, both left, the latter in 2019, the No.9 became available again, and Martial took it. He will, however, soon be leaving it behind for good. Rangnick has decided that Martial has no future at United, and he is expected to go in January or at the conclusion of the season.
