Man City make huge Haaland offer 

Sam Allardyce has slammed Manchester United for not signing Erling Haaland a few years ago. Man Utd had an inside track to sign Haaland due to his relationship with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but failed to bring him in before he blossomed into one of the world's best."Manchester United, I still think that, had they secured him, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would still be in the job," Allardyce told <a href="https://www.gentingcasino.com/insights/football/football-insights-sam-allardyce/">Genting Casino</a>."And why Manchester United decided to let him go has been mind-boggling for me ever since it happened. And Ole had worked with him."Allegedly, it came down to finance, then that is the biggest mistake that Manchester United – not Ole – made. I think Ole would still be in a job if he actually signed him." <div><a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-uefa-champions-league-26078198"> </a></div><div><a href="https://investingoutlook.co/man-who-predicted-2020-crash-warns-of-huge-event-in-2022/?cid=MKT579436&amp;eid=MKT597602&amp;utm_source=taboola&amp;utm_medium=referral#tblciGiB3zm2qLRwZK324o99m89i7CecgMxDqMyQ4mvnlteH4aSC8jD0o5pPPg9zNis0u"> </a></div>
