Erling Braut Haaland doesn't really need much of an introduction anymore.The 19-year-old striker has already set the whole footballing stage ablaze with his performances, both in the domestic league and in Europe, battling some of the best teams in the world.At the very moment, he has a tally of 28 goals in just 22 games played across all competitions in 2019/20, and not to mention that he has netted eight in just six Champions League clashes.

Needless to say, the reported interest from many different clubs, the likes of Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund is not really a surprising turn of events. Journalist Fabrizio Romano claims four major clubs, including the above duo, have already tabled bids...

If he continues to improve like this, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that he'll be even more spoiled for choice when the times comes to leave RB Salzburg, and the way he's heading forward, that time might well arrive pretty soon.

But which club should he choose? Between Dortmund and Man United, the answer might be a surprising one.

While the sheer prospect of having such a talent at Old Trafford would no doubt be a rather exciting one, it feels like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer already has plenty of young starlets emerging onto the scene. Of course, Marcus Rashford leads the line with ten Premier League goals to his name and would most likely still remain their main gunman up front.

Separating the fairweathers from real fans: How much can you remember about United's treble season?

Despite him actually being deployed on the left as well as down the centre in 2019/20, as per Transfermarkt's database, Haaland could still be battling with the Englishman for a spot in the team.

The same can be said for Anthony Martial, who has also been Solskjaer's pick for the centre-forward role in the ongoing campaign. And we also mustn't forget the emergence of Mason Greenwood since the 18-year-old talent has already tallied 13 Premier League appearances with two goals to show for them.

With all of them taken into account, it feels like Haaland's road towards an undisputed starting position - regardless of his undeniable quality - might be a rocky one, to say the least.

The Red Devils also have to take into account that the 6 ft 4 Norwegian star's potential introduction could also put some of their current talents' progress on hold, if he were to take their spot almost right from the bat.

There are many variables and angles to be dissected here, perhaps too many for a teenager who wants to rise to superstardom as quickly as possible.

At Dortmund, there's a more straightforward story.

The only clear out and out striker for the team is Paco Alcacer but the former Barcelona man has been struggling with injuries in the current season so Lucien Favre has been made to patch up the squad by playing the likes of Marco Reus and Mario Gotze up front.

If Haaland is looking for more regular game time and an easier path to the starting XI - as Romano suggests - Dortmund just might be the answer to that question.

Seeing how he's a young, up and coming player who needs to play in order to develop, it wouldn't be a stretch to say the Bundesliga may appeal to him just a bit more.

It's also, theoretically at least, a smaller jump than to the Premier League, Europe's most competitive top flight. The old adage of walking before running certainly comes to mind.

Who Haaland chooses - and let's not discount him staying with Salzburg for the time being - remains to be seen. But as things stand, Dortmund looks to be the better option, even if that does mean snubbing an arguably bigger club in United.

Meanwhile, many Spurs fans were absolutely delighted with an update on one of their big transfer targets...
