Dortmund found out they'd signed Haaland on Christmas Eve & how special video helped them see off Man Utd

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has revealed that he felt like a "little boy" after finding out on Christmas Eve that the club had secured the signing of Erling Haaland.

The Red Bull Salzburg striker made the switch to the Bundesliga title hopefuls in a cut-price €20 million (£17m/$22m).deal during the January transfer window, snubbing interest from Manchester United.

And the Norwegian has started life in Germany in incredible form, scoring eight goals in just four matches in all competitions, breaking records in the process.

Having struck a second-half hat-trick on his debut for the club in the 5-3 win over Augsburg on January 18, Haaland added five more in his next three appearances to become the first player ever to score eight times in his first four matches for a Bundesliga team.
