MANCHESTER UNITED could face a £12million agent fee to complete the signing of Erling Haaland.

United are confident of winning the race to sign the brilliant striker from RB Salzburg next month.

But super-agent Mino Raiola, who represents Haaland, is also demanding a huge fee if he brings the 24-goal Norwegian to Old Trafford.

The Austrian club are keen on a deal which sees the 19-year-old stay with them on loan until May.

And United are coming round to the idea of sanctioning those terms if it means they beat off competition from across Europe for his signature.

SunSport understands a figure of £12m has been quoted by Raiola — one of the biggest intermediaries in the game.

The club would be keen to reduce that figure drastically, but accept they must pay Raiola if they want to get the deal done.

Haaland is also set to be sent back on loan to Red Bull for the rest of the season.

Solskjaer had wanted to bring in the forward, who has scored 24 goals in 22 appearances this season, in January to boost the club’s battle for a top-four finish.

But Salzburg are insisting they will only do a deal if they are able to keep the brilliant teenager for the remainder of the campaign.
