Erling Haaland's hat-trick performances for Red Bull Salzburg has ignited interest from Manchester United, and a switch to Old Trafford is not being ruled out at all despite the strong links of the 19-year-old’s father to Leeds and Manchester City.

Alf-Inge Haaland, Erling's father represented two of the Red Devils’ fiercest rivals in his playing days but says he has no objections seeing his son happily chase a Premier League “dream” at any destination.

The 19-year-old Erling grew up as a Leeds supporter and it has been suggested in some quarters that his boyhood ties to the Whites could put him off a future switch to Manchester if the opportunity ever presented itself.

His father insists that would not be the case, with the next generation of Haaland talent merely looking to make the most of a career that could see him fulfil a Premier League dream.

Halaand senior says it is imperative that one differentiates between being a supporter and a job.

There is no doubt the Premier League is attractive to him. But we must wait and see if he gets a chance.”
