Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland has reportedly told Manchester United that he will not be joining them during this summer's transfer window.
The Norway international is expected to leave BVB in the upcoming market, when a £67m release clause in his contract will become active.
Man United are long-term admirers of the 21-year-old and are believed to have tried to sign him from Red Bull Salzburg in January 2020.
The 20-time English champions have been consistency linked with the forward over the last couple of years, but Manchester City, Barcelona and Real Madrid are now seen as the favourites for his signature.
According to ESPN, Haaland has informed the 20-time English champions that he will not be moving to Old Trafford this summer, as the team cannot match his ambitions.
The report claims that the Norwegian wants to join a club with an established 'sporting project', with money not the driving factor behind his next move.
Haaland has had his injury problems during the 2021-22 campaign but has still scored 23 goals and registered six assists in 24 appearances for Dortmund in all competitions.
Man United are expected to move for a new centre-forward this summer, with Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane currently being linked with a possible switch to Old Trafford.
