Borussia Dortmund won 2-1 against French champions Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 on Tuesday night.

Once again, 19-year-old Erling Haaland took the centre stage. The youngster just can’t stop scoring at the moment, and bagged a brace against the French giants.

His first goal was a predatory finish after Raphael Guerreiro’s shot was blocked and the second was a left-footed thunderbolt from 20 yards.

The youngster has taken his goal tally for the season to 39 goals in only 29 appearances, and 11 in seven since joining Dortmund in January.

Haaland’s performance has caused a stir on social media and especially among the Manchester United fans.

The Athletic journalist Sam Pilger has tweeted that it’s ‘uncomfortable’ to watch Haaland performing so well at Dortmund.

It is uncomfortable for #MUFC to watch Haaland’s impact at Dortmund, but they had to refuse a release clause in his contract, as they would have lost all control over his future. It would have made him a short-term player who could be sold without their permission.

Manchester United were heavily linked with a move for the youngster, but the Red Devils refused to agree any release clause in his contract as this would mean they would have lost control over his future.

He went on join to Dortmund in January from Red Bull Salzburg after the German giants agreed to meet his 20m euro (£17.1m) buyout clause.

Haaland has Mino Raiola as his agent, and United fans are bitter against him given how he is plotting a potential exit for Paul Pogba from behind. Here are some of the selected tweets:

True, but did they try and negotiate so that the release clause could not be activated if Utd qualified for Champions League, and negotiate for a higher release fee So many questions. A release clause would never be ideal, but it seems we really missed out here

If he really has a £60m release clause in his contract, he'll be gone this summer nevermind the next.
