Jamie Redknapp explains why Erling Haaland made the right decision snubbing Manchester United transfer

Erling Haaland was right to snub a move to Manchester United in January, according to Jamie Redknapp. The player was on the verge to join United in the January transfer window, but instead, he joined the Bundesliga side. Haaland, who scored 28 goals in 22 appearances for Austrian outfit RB Salzburg, has scored 11 goals and has created an assist in just seven games for the Bundesliga outfit. Writing in his Daily Mail column, Redknapp said: He said in his Daily Mail column: "Though Manchester United was linked, I believe Haaland made the right call in deciding to cut his teeth in the Bundesliga. It isn't easy trying to follow in your old man's footsteps. In fact, it puts more pressure on you because people pre-judge you. "'Oh, he's so-and-so's son...' I made it into professional football, and so did Frank Lampard, Jordi Cruyff and Paul Dalglish, among others. Jamie Carragher's son is a good player at Wigan and my boy is in the academy at Chelsea. Now we're seeing Erling Braut Haaland, the son of Alf-Inge, ripping it up in Germany at the age of 19. Eight games for Borussia Dortmund, 12 goals. Dortmund is a great place to gain a footballing education. That future Premier League move can wait!"  Source: The Mirror Join us on Telegram!
