Solskjaer coached Haaland during his time at Norwegian side Molde and has now revealed he recommended the striker to the Red Devils.
"I got in contact with United because we had this talented striker who they should have had," the Norwegian said, as per the Athletic.
"But they didn't listen, unfortunately. Four million, I asked for. But they never signed him. Four million! Don't ask [where he is now]. He's too good!"
Solskjaer, however, was critical of the current United dressing room and labelled the players 'snowflakes'.
"The lads in that dressing room were absolutely fantastic," he said.
"Keano was the leader, the one everyone looked up to. David May was the joker, the clown. Gary (Neville) is still the busiest and was the busiest back then as well. Nicky (Butt) and Giggsy (Ryan Giggs) were the entertainers.
"It was just a fantastic dressing room. Winners, who hated losing. They had a few fights, like you should do, after bad games. You had to shake each other up. "
"If you do that to the boys now, they will get their dad, or their mum, or their agents… snowflakes. Not many of today's lot would have survived in that dressing room."
