Confirmed : Erling Haaland could be joining Manchester United, after sending this message to Manchester United coach Ralf Ragnick and telling Chelsea to back off with their 230million offer .

 Ralf Rangnick's excellent response to 

Manchester United's transfer wish list has

 sent a reality check to Chelsea fans' 

dream summer window. 

According to The Athletic, Jules Kounde 

and Declan Rice were at the top of the Blues

' shopping list ahead of the season, but their

 separate pursuits were interrupted after 

Sevilla moved the goalposts on a deal

 for the former and a'steep' asking price

 for the latter. 

According to Ian McGarry of The Transfer

 Window podcast, the west Londoners 

are also interested in Erling Haaland, 

who has apparently agreed to personal

 terms with the striker. 

However, while a swoop for the trio 

is conceivable on paper - and even in 

Football Manager - Rangnick scoffed it 

off when asked about United's summer plans.
