Haaland, 18, was born in Leeds, where his father was playing at the time.

His father spent three years with United between 1997-2000 after making the move from Nottingham Forest, scoring eight goals in 72 Premiership appearances for the club.

Erling was a transfer target for the Whites last summer whilst at Molde, but the forward opted for a big money move to Salzburg instead.
