Manchester United could reportedly struggle to pip Barcelona to the signing of Borussia Dortmund marksman Erling Haaland ahead of next season.
The Catalan giants have been credited with a strong desire to bring the 21-year-old to the Nou Camp, with club president Joan Laporta said to be a keen admirer.
He is determined to prevent a front three of Haaland, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior from linking up at Real Madrid, according to Marca.
It is claimed that Laporta is prepared to fight tooth and nail to stop this from happening by ensuring that Haaland joins Barcelona.
