'He deserves a lot of credit for teaching me': Erling Braut Haaland reveals shooting practice with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer helped turn him into one of Europe's most lethal finishers

Erling Braut Haaland claims Ole Gunnar Solskjaer helped him fine-tune his ability in front of goal that has seen him emerge as one of the world's best finishers.

The Norwegian starlet has become a sensation after firing in 40 goals this season for Red Bull Salzburg and later Borussia Dortmund having joined the Bundesliga side in the January transfer window.

Haaland had been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United at the start of the year before the shock announcement that the German side had pipped them to his signature - with the 19-year-old rejecting a reunion with manager Solskjaer, who he worked under at boyhood club Molde.
