It was said in recent days that Manchester United would be at an advantage to sign Erling Haaland given the link between the new coach, Ralf Rangnick, and the Norwegian player’s father; That the new interim coach would even get a £10m (€11.7m) bonus if he could bring the miracle to England.

At his performance at Old Trafford on Friday, Rangnick sneered and clarified as he turned the cards in front of him: “Yes, 10 million for Haland, 10 million for Mbappe, 10 million for Lewandowski and 10 million for Kimich.”

“That’s nonsense, of course,” he said more seriously. “There is no such clause in my contract. It doesn’t make sense to speculate that there will be new players. Haaland is a great striker, I know him well because I was involved in his move from Molde to Salzburg, I know what kind of player he is, but in the meantime the whole world realized what a player he is.” Good,” he said. He says he is happy with the team and doesn’t usually like hiring in the winter market.

“I am very happy with the players we have here, we have a lot of great players in the offensive plan and we don’t need to talk about any other player,” he said.
