While Haaland’s father will have a big say in where the player ends up, there are also a number of other complications that have to be taken into account.

United are expected to face strong competition from rivals Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, while a move to Paris Saint-Germain can’t be ruled out either.

The Red Devils have also had issues dealing with Haaland’s agent, Mino Raiola, in the past and Rangick will need to overcome a number of obstacles if he is going to secure the Norwegian international’s signature next summer.
