Manchester United could have the advantage over Chelsea in the pursuit of the transfer of Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland.
The Red Devils appear to be making Haaland a big priority for the summer, as they even consider not spending too much on a center-back so they can afford a transfer of over £ 100million for the in-form Norway international. , according to 90min.
It could also be that United have an advantage over Chelsea in the race to sign Haaland, according to a surprise statement made in a report from Bild.
German media mentions the Blues alongside Man Utd as one of Haaland’s contenders, but claims that one thing that could hurt the West London giants is their manager Thomas Tuchel.
They claim Tuchel did not leave Dortmund on very good terms when he left as manager, so his presence at Chelsea may not be ideal.
It will be interesting to see how that develops, but Chelsea could undoubtedly benefit a lot from Haaland’s signing.
CFC appear to need more goals on their side after a terrible run of form from summer signing Timo Werner, while Olivier Giroud and Tammy Abraham also don’t appear to be ideal long-term options.
However, United also need a replacement for veteran Edinson Cavani, as goals have also dried up for Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood in recent times.
Tuchel has done a great job at Stamford Bridge so far but it would be a blow to the club if he really ends up costing them Haaland signing.
