Solskjaer refuses to be drawn on Haaland interest

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has refused to be drawn on speculation linking Erling Haaland with a move to Old Trafford.

United are looking to sign a striker, either in January or next summer, after allowing Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez to leave during the transfer window.

Sources have told ESPN FC that Haaland, who has scored 20 goals in just 13 games for Red Bull Salzburg this season, is on the club's radar after working with Solskjaer at Molde but for now the United boss is refusing to add to the transfer talk.

"I don't think it's the time now for me to talk about other team's strikers," Solskjaer said. "I spoke about Harry Kane [on Wednesday] and now Erling. I don't think it's right for me."

Solskjaer's team head to Norwich on Sunday hoping to build on positive results against Liverpool and Partizan Belgrade.

United registered their first away win since March in Serbia on Thursday, and will line up at Carrow Road looking for their first Premier League win away from Old Trafford since beating Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Feb. 27.

"I hope we're going to stop them, because it's always going to be difficult down at Carrow Road, but we're ready for it now," Solskjaer said.

"We've been to Belgrade, got some players back, I managed to take Aaron [Wan-Bissaka] and Anthony [Martial] off after 60 minutes because they've been out for a long time. So hopefully we'll have a fresh team because we need to be at our best to have a chance.

After starting the season with a back four, Solskjaer switched to a back three for the draw with Liverpool and the 1-0 win over Partizan, and the Norwegian has not ruled out sticking with the same system against Norwich.

"I think the injuries made us get into a position where the performances didn't come and we had fit centre-backs, good centre-backs, quality centre-backs and it just made it easier to go to a back three against Liverpool and again against Partizan," Solskjaer added.

"Marcos [Rojo] played a World Cup final in a back three, Harry [Maguire] was involved in a back three in a semifinal. Injuries have made us go into this position but it's working quite well."
