Friday's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup: Kingsley Coman, Erling Braut Haaland, David de Gea

Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Manchester United on Friday, February 19.

The January transfer window has now closed, leaving Manchester United to begin looking forward to the summer for their next round of recruitment.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Old Trafford.

Friday morning's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup:


Erling Braut Haaland says Real Madrid transfer links are "nice"

Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland said that it is "nice" to be linked with Real Madrid when asked how it felt to be wanted by the Spanish club's supporters.

The 20-year-old is enjoying another remarkable campaign for BVB, finding the back of the net on 25 occasions in 24 appearances in all competitions, including eight goals in five Champions League outings.

The Norway international scored a brace in Dortmund's 3-2 win over Sevilla in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League clash on Wednesday night.

Chelsea, Manchester City, Barcelona and Manchester United have all been strongly linked with the striker, while Madrid are also said to be determined to bring him to the Bernabeu.

"It's always nice if someone wants you," Haaland told reporters when asked how he felt about the Spanish side's supporters calling for him to arrive in Madrid.

Haaland is unlikely to be allowed to leave Signal Iduna Park during this summer's transfer window, but a £68m release clause in his contract can be activated at the end of the 2021-22 campaign.



Manchester United 'offering to double Kingsley Coman wages'

Manchester United reportedly have a firm interest in Kingsley Coman and are prepared to double the Bayern Munich winger's wages.

Versatile attacker Coman, predominantly used out on the left, has two years to run on his current contract at the Allianz Arena.

The German, European and world champions are keen to extend Coman's terms, but Bild claims that United's interest may complicate things.

United are said to be willing to offer Coman around £260,000 a week to join at the end of the season, which is substantially more than Bayern can pay the France international.

The same report suggests that Bayern fear losing the former Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain star on a free transfer, just like defender David Alaba this summer, if they fail to tie him down soon.
