But he does not want to burn bridges with United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward or boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Not with the future of Paul Pogba — who he also represents — on the line.
And not, as he has hinted, with the possibility Haaland may still go to United down the line.
Raiola stressed: “I don’t understand why in England there is such a buzz about why he has chosen Dortmund.
He insisted: “There is nothing against Manchester United or Ole. Haaland chose Borussia Dortmund.
“If he wanted to go to Manchester United I would have been obliged to take him to Manchester United — but he did not.
“Everyone is speaking about Manchester United but there were 12 clubs interested in him.
“We had serious talks with everybody.”
