Dortmund were in action against FC Schalke 04 in a derby game in the Bundesliga as millions of football fans tuned in to the live broadcast in what was the first glimpse of live football action since March.

The Norwegian striker’s goal caused a flurry of tweets from United fans asking the club to sign him, which follows him being linked with MUFC by the Evening Standard and others.
How did you not sign Haaland? Send Martial to the moon and sign Haaland asap.

Yes Haaland should absolutely be the buy. No doubt about it. I do think Dembele would help United though.
