Man United refused to sign Haaland because of Mino Raiola

English media reports that Manchester United have decided not to pursue on signing the Norwegian forward Erling Braut Haaland because of the high demand from agent Mino Raiola.

The Dutch agent as usual, requested a massive fee as well as demanding a number of clauses including release clause in the 19-year-old contract, which would allow him leave in the future.

That is something United were unwilling to abide, the same thing that is happening when they were dealing with Mathijs de Ligt who eventually joined Juventus in the summer.

Ole Gunnar Solskjær reportedly travel to Austria to deal with Haaland, but they ultimately refuse to accept such demand.

Haaland who plays for Red Bull Salzburg this season, signed with Borussia Dortmund until 2024 with a transfer fee in the region of 23.5 million euros.

It was suggested Raiola has pocketed a further 10 million euros as an agent fee for the deal.
