Red Bull Salzburg prospect Erling Braut Haaland has said he is bored of speculation surrounding his future at the Austrian club.
Haaland has been linked with a move to Manchester United as a result of his rapid rise at Salzburg, where he has scored 18 goals in 11 appearances this season.
However, the 19-year-old is fed up of answering questions about where his future may lie.
“The media attention is huge. It’s good pressure," Haaland said after scoring in Salzburg's 4-3 defeat by Liverpool at Anfield earlier this week.
“The club is good at shielding me a little, but I hope it will be more shielding in the future.
"It will be difficult, but we will try. I want to be shielded.
“It’s boring. I’m bored now. On a scale of 1 to 10 [of how bored]? 9.9.”
Speaking in an interview with Norwegian TV channel TV 2 last month, Haaland praised United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer before revealing his desire to test himself in the Premier League.
"He has had a huge impact on my life, both as a person and as a trainer," Haaland said of Solskjaer, who coached him at Molde.
"He won the Champions League and was an incredibly good player. He has taught me a lot.
"I have dreamed of playing for the best clubs in the world my whole life, and I especially like English football."
