MANCHESTER UNITED POSSIBLY ALREADY GIVEN AN ANSWER REGARDING ONE OF THEIR TRANSFER TARGET BEFORE THE 2021 SUMMER TRANSFER WINDOW FULLY COMMENCES

The 2021 summer transfer window has not opened yet. As at the start of April 2021, when the first draft for this article was created, the information received from the top governing bodies in charge of football management was that the decision around when the opening date for the 2021 summer transfer window will commence was yet to be decided. 

As at the early period of April 2021- when the final draft of this article was created. As of early April, all the way down to mid-April, the main transfer talk involving Manchester United has been around one Erlin Braut Haaland and when (not if, when) Manchester United will sign for Erlin Haaland. 

 

First off, let’s cover the two most important pieces of information relevant to tonight’s topic and the two most pieces of information are that one Erlin Harland is under contract to stay at Borussia Dortmund until the year 2024.

Secondly, even if Erlin Haland was to demand an exit from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2021, what Manchester United Channel understands of the issue is that- while Erlin Harland is understood to be a player on the top part of the summer transfer list for Manchester United in 2021, the financial demand attached to Erlin Harland has unfortunately likely ruled out a move to Manchester United for Erlin Harland in the summer of 2021.  

 

Manchester United supporters and in fact Manchester United football club as a whole have penned down Erlin Harland as the number one player on the transfer window wish list in the summer of 2021—as has other top clubs such as Chelsea, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich whom will all be looking for a top striker such as Erlin Harland to add as the finishing touch to each of their well-oiled team- with good reason too. 

If we take a good look at the four mentioned sides Chelsea, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich for starters, these are three great sides with a quality defense and a well-oiled midfield already established in their team and the only ingredient missing from these teams appear to be a top-notch striker. 

That’s where Erlin Harland comes in. At the moment, the Norwegian striker is the best and the most craved striker in Europe with the expected result for whichever team Erlin Harland joins this summer being that the Norwegian striker will most likely make that team the favorites to win the Premier League competition and indeed favorites to lift the Premier League trophy and any team Erlin Harland signs for most likely becomes the favorites to lift the UEFA Champions League trophy as well next season. 

 

 Are Manchester United seriously in the race as one of the favorites to sign Erlin Harland in the 2021 Summer transfer window? 

According to the information received here at the Manchester United Channel site, the answer appears to be an unfortunate No! 

As previously mentioned, Erlin Harland is the best striker in the world at the moment, and adding to the point of Erlin Harland being the best striker in Europe right, now, the 20-year-old striker is a young striker who has demonstrated his hunger and desire to attain as much success as possible by winning as many trophies as possible in modern-day football. As a result, what is understood of the situation around Erlin Harland as we approach the 2021 summer transfer window, Erlin Haaland will be looking to move on from Borussia Dortmund. 

What is understood of the situation at Borussia Dortmund is that BVB football club - as per information received here at Manchester United Channel- is that Borussia Dortmund will be looking to move a few players on this summer to resolve the issue of some of the budgets lost by the club during the early part of the Covid-19 crises in 2020. 

As a result, Borussia Dortmund is prepared to place some of their best players in the transfer window to generate massive funds during the 2021 summer season and Erlin Harland, at the moment, happens to be the biggest player wanted by every club around Europe and by default this makes Erlin Harland the most valuable asset for Borussia Dortmund during the 2021 summer transfer window.  

 

Does this make Manchester United a strong contender to secure the services of Erlin Harland during the 2021 Summer transfer window? At the moment, the unfortunate answer is once again a No! 

 

Does the idea of Erlin Harland's name being entered into the list of players whose services will be available during the 2021 summer transfer window mean that Manchester United now automatically holds a higher opportunity of signing the Norwegian striker? Unfortunately, No! The reason for this stance is because the projected idea around Manchester United continue to pump up the idea that because Manchester United are still the richest football club around the world, the Red Devils must always be able to spend more money than every other football club once each transfer window comes along is a wrong assumption to make. 

The fact is that evidentially the club from central Manchester continue to struggle to produce any financial surplus as a result of the financially demanding effects caused by the Covid 19 pandemic which might see Manchester United have to wait until 2022 before the Red Devils can return to being financial powerhouses when both the January and summer transfer window comes along.   

 

As for the possibility of Erlin Harland joining Manchester United this 2021 summer season, Borussia Dortmund is reportedly understood to have set the price tag for Erlin Harland at 150 million which unfortunately rules Manchester United out as running candidates to secure the signature of Erlin Harland this 2021 summer transfer window given that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer transfer budget is projected to be a total of 80 million to be spent on the 2021 summer transfer window.
