Erling Haaland has earned the praise of the football world by scoring goals. But before he had all the spotlight on him, Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer had him in his ranks at Molde. The now United coach puffed chest out for having been one of the coaches who contributed to the explosion of the Norwegian.

Solskjaer held a wide-ranging press conference before taking on PSG in the Champions League.

They asked Solskjaer about Haaland, who was once his pupil at Molde. The red devil coach could not and would not hide how happy he is to see him at the top.

"It was really amazing to work with him, to see his potential. Part of me is very proud to have been part of his growth," said the coach.

There is no doubt in Solskjaer's mind that Haaland is made to pulverise all records. "I am convinced that he will break every record in the Champions League," he said.

For the time being, the Norwegian is still making a lot of noise. He is already among the four most efficient scorers in the Champions League.
