Erling Haaland will NEVER sign for Manchester United as the Haaland family hate them, according to a Leeds United fan.

Haaland has been the subject of intense transfer speculation with the Red Devils reportedly interested in snapping up the superstar forward.

But one fan believes there's no way Haaland will go to Man United because of the infamous incident involving the player's father and Roy Keane.

Alf-Inge Haaland was on the wrong end of a horrific challenge from Keane who landed a dangerous studs-up tackle during the Manchester derby in 2001.

As a result, Leeds supporter Ben doesn't fancy Man United's chances of luring the 20-year-old to Old Trafford.

"There's no way he's going to Manchester United," he told talkSPORT. "The Haalands hate Man United. If you remember the whole Roy Keane with his dad business, why would he go there."

One of the on-set presenters responded, saying: "Money talks."

But Ben hit back - claiming Manchester City have more money than their cross-town rivals and suggested Real Madrid would pay more than them, too.

He continued: "City have got more (money) than United, Madrid will pay more than United. Keane ended his father's career. It's an absolute nonsense.

"He will never go there when he can go to City or Madrid or to Bayern or anywhere else."

Ally McCoist appeared to agree with him, adding: "You're very, very cynical Ben. You might just be correct though."

Haaland, meanwhile, smashed yet another Champions League record following his heroics for Borussia Dortmund against Sevilla on Tuesday.

He became the fastest and youngest player to reach 20 Champions League goals, taking just 14 matches.

And Man United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he's running out of words to describe him.

"It was only a matter of time but at the age of 20 to achieve the amount of goals he had is fantastic," he said.

"There's not many more superlatives left out there and whatever I want to say to him I'll say in Norwegian directly to him."
