Manchester United 'want to sign Erling Braut Haaland over Jadon Sancho'

Manchester United are reportedly ready to drop their interest in Jadon Sancho in order to pursue a move for his Borussia Dortmund teammate Erling Braut Haaland.
The Red Devils were strongly linked with Sancho during last summer's transfer window but were not prepared to meet Dortmund's £107m asking price for the England international.
The former Manchester City youngster has struggled for form this season, failing to score in 11 Bundesliga appearances, and according to The Mirror, United are now debating whether to reignite their interest ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.
The report claims that the 20-time English champions would rather prioritise a move for Haaland, who was a target for the club before he left Red Bull Salzburg for Dortmund in January 2020.
Sancho is still said to be on United's radar, but Haaland is the number one choice, with the Norway international scoring 33 times in 32 appearances for BVB since his arrival.
The 20-year-old is unlikely to be allowed to leave Signal Iduna Park this summer but is expected to depart in 2022 when a release clause in his contract comes into play.
Arsenal lining up January move for Carlos Soler?

Arsenal could reportedly attempt to bring Valencia attacker Carlos Soler to the Emirates Stadium during the January transfer window.
The 24-year-old has been in impressive form for Los Che during the 2020-21 campaign, scoring six times and registering five assists in 13 appearances in all competitions.
Soler has a contract at Mestalla until June 2023, but the club's financial problems mean that he is likely to be made available for purchase if a suitable offer arrives.
According to El Desmarque, Arsenal are 'keeping an eye' on the Spaniard and could be ready to test Valencia's resolve with an offer before the end of the winter transfer window.
Los Che are currently down in 18th position in La Liga, but Soler has been in strong form for Javi Gracia's side, scoring five goals and providing four assists in 12 appearances.
The attacker has previously been linked with a move to Manchester United.
