Why shouldn’t Manchester United sign Erling Haaland?

#1) The infamous agent and unreasonable demands of Haaland
Manchester United has had some of the worst experiences with one of football’s super agents, Mino Raiola. The agent has always affected the club with his negative comments despite them being patient with his respective clients employed by the club.
Recently, he made some controversial statements regarding the treatment of Paul Pogba at Old Trafford despite the player being happy.
Sadly, the damage was already done and this was ahead of their crucial Champions League encounter against RB Leipzig. The club would not like to invite more trouble by signing another player with the same agent.
According to recent reports, the former Salzburg player is demanding a sum of £300,000-a-week from his next club. The player’s demands could derail Manchester United’s wage structure.
Since Ole’s appointment, the club hasn’t handed any big contracts to their players and has gotten rid of Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku, who were some of the highest earners at the club.
Moreover, Raiola might once again push for the lower release clause as he did with Borussia Dortmund, which is again a drawback for a brand as big as Manchester United.
