Manchester United's chances of signing Erling Haaland may be dwindling as the Norwegian striker is reportedly set for a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid. The Norwegian has become one of football's most sought-after prospects in the last two years following his goalscoring exploits.
The Borussia Dortmund striker - who amazingly has only just turned 21 - has scored an eye-watering 62 goals in 62 games in Germany, prompting the rest of world football's superpowers to make him their number one target.
Indeed, with United currently set to need a new striker for the 2022-23 season given that Edinson Cavani's contract expires before then and Anthony Martial continues to be inconsistent, Haaland has been rumoured as their top target.
Yet if reports are to be believed, it appears Haaland won't be on his way to Old Trafford, with the striker being linked with a move to Spain instead. It's claimed an agreement is in place to take him to Real Madrid next summer. Express Sport looks at four potential strikers United could sign if Haaland joins Los Blancos.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Calvert-Lewin isn't the main English striker dominating the news over a move to Manchester, but should Harry Kane finally depart to the Etihad Stadium, then Calvert-Lewin could be the headline-grabber in the 2022 summer window.
Having had a slow start to his Everton career, with just 11 league goals in 78 games, he shot to stardom under the leadership of Carlo Ancelotti, scoring 24 goals in 53 games under the Italian.
Having always had athleticism under his belt, the Sheffield-born striker has added a developed nastiness - likely down to the coaching of Duncan Ferguson - and attacking instinct to his game, making him one of the deadliest strikers in the league.
With time on his side at just 24, and having made England's Euro 2020 squad, his capabilities and ability could increase more at Old Trafford - though it would take at least a fee of £60million to make Everton consider an offer if reports are to be believed.
