Manchester United fans left unsure on Erling Haaland transfer after Liverpool FC performance

Some Manchester United fans have appeared to change their minds on Erling Braut Haaland after the striker's performance against Liverpool in the Champions League.

Haaland has earned plenty of plaudits this season thanks to his staggering goal scoring rate of 28 goals in 22 appearances, though it's the Champions League which has really seen him rise to prominence.

The 19-year-old became the first teenager to score in five games in a row in Europe's top competition, as he scored eight times in his debut campaign.

Liverpool finally managed to stop him scoring in his sixth and final appearance in this year's tournament - as RB Salzburg were eliminated and will now compete in the Europa League - and United fans were left unimpressed.

Haaland's incredible form has seen him linked with several of the world's biggest clubs and United are one of the teams who have been touted to make a move.

Despite victories over Tottenham and Man City in the last week, United have still struggled at points this season, with scoring goals being a problem, and Haaland seemed like a good fit, especially since he used to play under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Molde.

Yet some United fans seem to have gone off the idea after Haaland failed to score with any of his three attempts at Liverpool and also squandered some other chances he had when through on goal which didn't result in a shot.
