Former England coach Sam Allardyce says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would still be Manchester United manager if they had signed Erling Haaland.
Allardyce has slammed United's 'mind-boggling' failure to sign him on both previous occasions and he believes Solskjaer would still have his job at Old Trafford if they did.
"Manchester United, I still think that, had they secured him, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would still be in the job," Allardyce admitted to Genting Casino, via The Mirror.
"And why Manchester United decided to let him go has been mind-boggling for me ever since it happened. And Ole had worked with him.
"Allegedly, it came down to finance, then that is the biggest mistake that Manchester United – not Ole – made. I think Ole would still be in a job if he actually signed him."
Haaland left RB Salzburg for Borussia Dortmund in January 2020 - turning down Solskjaer and United in the process.
