MANCHESTER UNITED missed out on signing Erling Haaland in January 2020 because they would not insert a release clause, claims Borussia Dortmund chief.

otherwise he would have gone to Manchester United." Rather than sign Haaland, the Red Devils opted to bring in former Watford forward Odion Ighalo on loan from Shanghai Shenhua. The Red Devils had appeared to be in the driving seat to sign the Norwegian from Red Bull Salzburg.

Manchester United almost signed Erling Haaland in January 2020, Borussia Dortmund chief Hans-Joachim Watzke has revealed.

Borussia Dortmund chief Hans-Joachim Watzke has revealed that his club had to give Erling Haaland a release clause in his contract when signing him or else ...

But, on the other hand, he has developed into one of the most expensive strikers in the world. It is obvious the club needs quite a few new players. But I'm sure we'll find the new Haaland. We need the new Haaland." It's widely understood that a £63m release clause will become activated this summer with the 21-year-old in line for a massive move. Haaland emerged as one of the most exciting players in world football at Red Bull Salzburg in 2019 and there was a clamour for his signature ahead of the 2020 January transfer window. Now there is once again a transfer race brewing for his signature.

Erling Haaland would have moved to Manchester United rather than Borussia Dortmund if they had not put a release clause in his contract, according to chief.

12h ago Watzke also expressed his confidence Dortmund would be able to replace the 21-year-old when the time comes: “He has a decision to make, it will come eventually. His form in front of goal means he has now, as The Athletic reported, agreed initial personal terms with Manchester City and given the green light to a summer move.

Hans-Joachim Watzke has claimed that Erling Haaland would've moved to Man Utd instead in 2020 if they had inserted a release clause.

“Without Haaland there is also a huge opportunity. “He missed a lot of games and you also have to remember that BVB also suffered defeats with him. Hamann added: “He drew a lot of attention to himself.

Borussia Dortmund's CEO claims Erling Haaland would have moved to Manchester United if they hadn't of put a release clause in his contract.

However, Watze believes United would have signed Haaland two years ago had it not been for the promise of a release clause. Haaland looks set to join Manchester City in the summer after it was reported that the striker had agreed terms with the Citizens, ending years of speculation surrounding his future. Borussia Dortmund’s CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has claimed that Erling Haaland would have moved to Manchester United had the German club not inserted a release clause in his contract.

Bochum sealed a famous 3-4 win over rivals Borussia Dortmund in an incredible game at the Signal Iduna Park.

85' - GOAL (PANTOVIC) - Pantovic scores the penalty. 81' - GOAL (LOCADIA) - Incredible goal - Locadia with it. He was trying to control the ball but it hits his standing foot and wrong foots the keeper and rolls into the net. 8’ – GOAL (HOLTMANN) – Sensational - Dortmund are shocked. The ball is fizzed across by Reus who is found by Bynoe-Gittens. Then Haaland is there to turn in. Goes into the other corner this time. Asano whips in a great cross from the right and Polter heads in unchallenged in the middle of the box. A wonderful goal - great technique. At times Bochum have been poor away from home - prior to this match they had only picked up 11 of their points on the road and were reliant on their home form to keep them in the league. He picked out Locadia with an inch-perfect ball to get the assist for Bochum's third, and for their second of the game Pantovic stepped over Takuma Asano's pass intelligently letting it roll to Holtmann, who scored fantastically. There was a third penalty of the game but this time to Bochum after Axel Witsel handled in the area. They won the 2.Bundesliga last season and they have come up and sealed their place in the top flight for another year.

His third goal (temporarily) gave Dortmund the lead even if the goal didn’t feature the usual Haaland panache. I won’t lie...I was nervous when he stepped up to the line. The way he riled up the fans, the holes in his socks, how he never gave up. And, even when the efforts of his beautiful passes and shot attempts didn’t pay off, it was beautiful to watch him at work. Dortmund, however, is not a team to let their fans get too comfortable. Borussia Dortmund managed to find new ways to disappoint the 80,000 some odd fans in attendance during today’s match against VfL Bochum. Not only did Dortmund equalize (through total luck) but they also didn’t appear to self-destruct as they normally would after falling behind so early.

Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland enhanced his goal return in his latest outing, netting a hat-trick to make it 85 goals in 87 matches for the German ...

However, the attacker was dealt some very sad news with the death of his agent Mino Raiola on Saturday, just before he hit his hat-trick. Follow the game, Haaland paid tribute to Raiola on social media with a photo of the pair with the caption: "The best." The striker has been linked with a mega-money move to Manchester City in recent months.

Dortmund defended like garbage for the first 15 minutes of the game, only for a few penalty calls against the run of play to bring the team back into the play.

Still, he was a part of a team that was tactically inept for the better part of 75 minutes, including several really poorly played through balls to Haaland from Brandt himself. The game was dying to see Tom Rothe by the 60th minute, and that is pretty damning for one of Dortmund’s most technically gifted players. It is a hard result for Erling Haaland, who did his best to keep his team in the game only to once again be let down at the other end of the pitch. Played like he was disturbed by this week's headlines, which stated that he was expected to depart the club at the end of the season. That game was junk, and then for a little while it was not junk, and then once again it was junk. Dortmund defended like garbage for the first 15 minutes of the game, only for a few penalty calls against the run of play to bring the team back into the play.

Barcelona was also keen on the Salzberg star but will have to search elsewhere now, maybe continue with their raid on Chelsea. However, Divock Origi and other fringe players are on their way out. Young, athletic, and a like-for-like replacement if any of their aging front three decides they want a new challenge. Having just signed Luis Diaz from FC Porto, one can only expect them to first sell before signing anybody new. It was also not guaranteed that the Reds would still entertain a Karim Adeyemi transfer. German wonderkid Adeyemi has been strongly linked with a transfer to Signal Iduna Park and a move to Dortmund would allow the young forward to follow in the footsteps of Erling Haaland – who made the same switch at the start of 2020.

BERLIN (AP) — Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund lost in the Bundesliga on Saturday. But the real drama was elsewhere.

Haaland responded with two penalties by the 30th. But we still carry the Bayern crest on our chests,” Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann said. “We always need a certain passion for the game. Haaland completed his hat trick in the 62nd, sweeping the ball toward goal with his left boot only to deflect it in with his right knee. Bielefeld remained second to last on 27 points, Stuttgart was in the relegation playoff spot with 29, Hertha was on 33 and Augsburg 35 with two rounds remaining. Hertha substitutes Luca Wollschläger and Maximilian Mittelstädt should have scored their team’s second goal to secure the win when they had only the goalkeeper to beat in the 88th minute, and Hertha was to rue their gaping miss when Joakim Nilsson equalized for Bielefeld.

The Bavarians pulled one back when Robert Lewandowski rolled in his 34th Bundesliga goal this season, claiming a league record after scoring 18 times away this term. Midfielder Leandro Barreiro grabbed Mainz’s third goal just after the break when his shot took a wicked deflection and looped into the Bayern goal. Bayern suffered a hangover from last weekend’s title party as hosts Mainz also hit the woodwork four times in a 3-1 win. Juergen Locadia fired one in before Milos Pantovic converted the winning penalty after a handball by Dortmund midfielder Axel Witsel. A week after Bayern beat second-placed Dortmund 3-1 in Munich to be crowned league champions for the tenth straight season, Germany’s top two clubs both lost. In Dortmund, Bochum raced into a 2-0 lead after just eight minutes thanks to goals by Sebastian Polter and Gerrit Holtmann.
