2. Manchester United
The very obvious fire that fuels the speculation of Håland being targetted for a move told Trafford is that his compatriot and former coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, is at the helm of Manchester United. The former United player has spoken of the club's search for attacking reinforcements and a move for Håland would be spectacular.

There is a section of the Old Trafford faithful that believe that the potential purchase of the Norwegian would hamper the progress of Anthony Martial's transition back to the central striker role, with Mason Greenwood coming up through the ranks as well and scoring some crucial goals this season. Marcus Rashford's time playing centrally as well will be affected.
In retrospect, considering Solskjaer's insistence on playing in a certain way, it wouldn't be surprising if he does indeed build the attack keeping Håland in mind. He was the coach that was largely responsible for his breakthrough at FK Molde and the player himself has spoken about the United manager's influence on his young career.

The Solskjaer links aside, the Salzburg striker would offer a plethora of different options in attack, many of which United do not possess. Since Romelu Lukaku's departure, they do not have an intimidating goalscoring presence in the box, and someone who will score them goals by any means necessary. Their scoring has taken a toll this season due to a lack of genuine goal threats who can consistently bag 15 to 20 goals a season.
Håland is a terrific header of the ball and at full speed, he is a difficult man to stop due to his physical stature. His powerful runs can add a different dimension to an already pacy attack with the likes of Rashford and Martial. Should Håland potentially opt for a move to Old Trafford, the potential of both their attack and the squad would be monumental. Solskjaer could also opt for a 4-4-2 with the colossal Norwegian leading the line alongside a bit more intricate Martial.
Their troubles in front of goal have cost them dearly this season and with a relatively resolute defence and an improved attack, United could secure Champions League football on a regular basis and contend for trophies all across the board.
