You can not tell it by looking at Erling Braut Haaland's goal numbers, but Borussia Dortmund has not had a particularly good season in Germany's top flight. Haaland's 33 goals change the secret weakness of his team.
They are now in fifth place, almost 20 points from the Bundesliga conference, and were sacked in December. Forget capturing Bayern Munich for the title, for BVB it was just about making them qualified for the first European competition next year.
DONT MISS:
So while English fans can look forward to Dortmund's Champions League quarter-final clash with Man City - a link to the subplots, given Jadon Sancho's links to the club - Home problems will soon precede the North Rhineland.
And what happened to the Bundesliga failure for Haaland's future, and for Manchester United's willingness to sign the uber-prolific Norwegian marksman?
Much of the discussion surrounding United's interest in Haaland has focused on surrounding his relationship with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, his former leader in Norway with Molde between 2017 and 2018.
DONT MISS:
The consensus has been, given the nearest existence between Haaland and Solskjaer, that this personal opinion would be the decision in the 20-year-old to persuade United to choose United on Judgment Day. is coming.
Now it seems unlikely Haaland will have a choice of Premier League participants in the summer transfer window or one of the next. He has his relationship with England having become part of the M62 caretaker father, Alf Inge, playing for Manchester City and Leeds. And the Premier League will pay better.
So with the connection with both of United’s rivals (one in the city can land his signature), it must be Solskjaer’s charm to bring Haaland to Old Trafford, right?
Wrong. United needs more than just a friendly face, although many players have reportedly agreed on the Solskjaer man-management type.
United would hope, with football manager John Murtough and chief executive Darren Fletcher in tow, they now have the tools needed to pull off the seismic path. They are tools they did not have last summer in their failure to follow Sancho.
The Englishman Dortmund team-mates may find it difficult to reward the German club, especially if they pack Champions League qualification and with that created a £ 70million release clause not working until The Six 2022. Why many United fans do not agree on the potential to see Haaland wear the red shirt.
When asked this week by Norwegian media outlet VG what good club should have for him to sign them, Haaland gave an ambiguous statement: "They should need me."
He has already poured cold water on the rumors that have now become so angry with every day that summer is approaching.
"I still have three three-year contracts. I'm not worried about that," he said.
But if Dortmund does not get into next season's Champions League group stage, you have to assume that Haaland will be there, by hook or for strength.
United will surely wrap up a place in the next round of the Champions League and could still be tempted to win the European trophy at the time if they can go all the way in the Europa League.
It seems unlikely that Dortmund will pack qualification for the Champions League by winning the product, and they were four points out of the relegation zone in the Bundesliga top flight.
United refused to hold all the aces, but they had a king in Solskjaer and a powerful king in Haaland. He arrives to put the whole house in protest.
