The Norway striker has been in fine goalscoring form since his arrival at Red Bull Arena in January, having scored 28 in 22 appearances for the Austrian champions so far this season, eight of which came in the Champions League group stages.
The 19-year-old has been linked with a number of top European clubs like RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid and Juventus.
Solskjaer previously worked with Haaland for two seasons at the Eliteserien outfit Molde FK and he is keen to bring his compatriot to Old Trafford in January.
Speaking after Manchester United’s 3-1 win against Colchester United in the Carabao Cup quarter final on Wednesday, the former Cardiff City coach insists the club looks "for players who can complement the others we have".
"He is a player I like, we are looking for good players all the time," the 46-year-old told Viasport.
"Erling has had a good development, so he has to develop further wherever he decides.”
“I don’t need to talk so much about him, but we as a team always look for players who can complement the others we have, and then we see what we end up with."
