Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has stepped up interest in RB Salzburg striker Erling Haaland.

Solskjaer has shown just how interested he is in Haaland by sending his 'personal scout', Simon Wells, to watch the teenage wonderkid.

The Athletic says Solskjaer asked Wells from the club's recruitment team to closely assess players who could strengthen his under-achieving squad earlier this season.

The pair know each other well from his time as manager of Molde in Norway because Wells was United's scout in the Scandinavia region at the time.

It was Wells who helped seal the signing of Swedish centre half Victor Lindelof from Benfica in 2017.

Haaland has notched an exceptional 26 goals in 18 appearances for the Austrian outfit so far this season.
