Raiola hints Man United are not in race for Haaland

Mino Raiola has suggested that Manchester United are not candidates to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland during next summer's transfer window.

The 21-year-old is expected to leave BVB at the end of the 2021-22 campaign, with a number of clubs set to battle for his signature.

Man United have long been credited with an interest in the Norway international, and it had been suggested that their position had been strengthened by Ralf Rangnick's arrival at Old Trafford.

However, Haaland's agent Raiola named Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester City as "the big clubs" that the forward could join next summer.

"Bayern, Real, Barcelona, ​​City - these are the big clubs he can go to. City has won the championship five times in recent years, significantly more than United. When we moved to Dortmund, we all knew that this step would come," Raiola told Sport1.

Haaland, who has scored 17 times in 13 appearances at club level during the 2021-22 campaign, will allegedly have a £63m release clause in his BVB contract next summer.
