Non-League outfit Ashton United have made a shocking bid to sign Erling Haaland on loan from neighbours Manchester City during the World Cup.

The Northern Premier League Premier Division have submitted a 28-day loan approach for Haaland after Norway failed to qualify for the global showpiece in Qatar.

Ashton manager Michael Clegg believes the loan offer is the perfect solution to help Haaland maintain his fitness during the international break.

“It just makes sense,” Clegg told ashtonunited.co.uk after Saturday’s defeat to Gainsborough Trinity

“City aren’t playing, and we want to help by keeping Erling fit, it makes more sense than him playing golf for six weeks.

“We think he will be a great fit for us,and would slot in with our squad dynamic really well.”

However, the Non-League outfit are yet to receive any response from Manchester City.
