Manchester United pulled out of the race to sign Erling Braut Haaland because of concerns over the way the deal was structured.
Manchester United pulled out of a move for Erling Haaland after they refused to agree to a buyout clause and percentage of future sales.
Dortmund announced the €20million signing of Haaland on Sunday afternoon and sources have told the MEN the player's representatives, including Mino Raiola, wanted to secure a share from future sales of the Norwegian striker as part of the transfer.
United were unwilling to meet the proposed terms, with sources describing them as 'bad for the industry'. United sources insist Haaland chose to join Dortmund after the club rejected the proposed terms but those close to the Haaland family always expected him to move to Germany.
It is understood United were unprepared to put themselves in a position where the agent could effectively control the sell-on, rather than the club.

That was good for United to reject the proposals considering the terms. It would also have put a strain the development of Greenwood

Really good decision that united have made, I am really glad for it, I know if it was united they wouldn't have taken 20 million and the boy asked for a wage of 130k a week (far too high for someone from a farmer's league and might turn out to be an EPL flop) and besides doing business with Riola is not eve I deal that guy is very annoying and devastating at time ( Pogba is proof enough) and this will also put a strain on Man U transfer policy and expectations of potential signings, they'll know Man U won't just splash the money for splashing sake anymore, you'll have to be worth it and will have proven it I am so glad this deal fell through

Mino R. Is simply an agent of destruction n Man Utd should avoid dealing with players who r his clients.

unted are right in this issue. this kinds of contracts will provoke the agent to negotiate with other clubs for consecutive tranfer of the player and earning the comission money

it is the great step taken to avoid those players who is not passionate for the club and just dreaming for money digging contracts, agents like mini raiola is virus to the football world where everything is just a business.

I think there an Assciation of club owners. Everyone should boycott this greedy Mino Raiola . He has spoiled many rising players’ careers. Those rising players now warm up bench. The same will be the fate of Haaland as was the case with De Light.

United might need an out right striker but that price for such a young kid is crazy. Let the big guns buy him if he proves that he can keep on scoring goals in a more competitive league.

If this story is true, United are 100% right to reject that deal. Hiw can you buy a new custom-made car and the dealership retains the right to take it away from you at any time just because another customer might want thesame specs???

EPL is toughest and mentality of a Raiola player is very well known to everyone of us....So its better to pull out after such terms and worth risk not taking
