Manchester United criticized Paul Ince’s failure to sign Erling Haaland
‘You can’t let such people slip through the net’: Paul Ince SLAMS Manchester United for not signing Erling Haaland and calls on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to remove more players from Old Trafford this summer
- Paul Ince says Manchester United should have signed Erling Haaland in January
- The attacker made a £ 17 million move from Borussia Dortmund to RB Salzburg
- The 19-year-old Norwegian scored 40 goals in 33 games this season
- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had conversations with him, but it was not enough to convince him
Paul Ince has beaten Manchester United for ‘letting Erling Haaland’ slip through the net ‘after getting a fruitful start in Germany after moving to Borussia Dortmund in January.
The 19-year-old was searched by virtually all European elite clubs in the winter period after appearing on the scene at Red Bull Salzburg and scoring 28 goals in the first half of the season.
The Norwegian continued his rich form when he moved to Dortmund and plundered 12 goals in 11 games, with the Bundesliga giants paying just £ 17 million to contract him.

And Ince, who has represented both United and Liverpool in his playing days, insists that players of that quality should not be overlooked if United wants to return to the top table of football.
“If they want to close the gap with Manchester City and Liverpool, they need a world-class striker,” he said Target.
“They got the chance with Haaland, the young boy who went to Dortmund, that was really sad. He is a very, very good player who can improve and you cannot let such people slip through the net. ‘
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had conversations with Haaland in the weeks leading up to his January trip, but the meeting was not enough to convince him to move to Old Trafford.
United were desperate for a striker in January after not replacing Romelu Lukaku and with Marcus Rashford on the sidelines.
Haaland has also scored a record 10 Champions League goals in just seven games this campaign, although it was not enough to see Dortmund reach the quarterfinals after crashing against Paris Saint-Germain.

Meanwhile at United, Anthony Martial has scored 16 goals in 34 appearances and Mason Greenwood has registered 14 goals in 38 games.
Rashford was the best of the bunch, scoring 19 goals in 31 games, while Odion Ighalo, the man who was finally brought in by Solskjaer in January, started life well at United.
However, Ince states that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should have signed his former Molde striker.
“That was disappointing that they couldn’t catch him. They must have someone who gets 20-25 goals per season.
“There are players who, according to Ole, should not be home next year. More players will leave and more will come in. I think you need to find the right balance. ‘
