The non-league club, which is located a few miles away from Manchester City submitted the bid on Monday, November 14, 2022.
According to a press release issued by Ashton United, the club would like to land the services of Haaland for a 28-day period since the Norway international will not feature at the Qatar World Cup.

“Ashton United can confirm that the club has submitted a 28-day loan approach for Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.
“With the current Premier League champions not in action until late December due to the 2022 FIFA World Cup, The Robins have reached out to our neighbors at the Etihad in order to keep Haaland’s match fitness with him not being involved in Qatar,” read part of the statement from the club.
Michael Clegg, the club’s manager stated that the Manchester City management is yet to respond to their offer.
“It just makes sense. City isn'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.
"The club is yet to receive any response from Manchester City,” he ended.
Haaland has been in brilliant form since joining the club from Borussia Dortmund in July 2022.
He is currently the Premier top scorer with an impressive 18 goals in less than 14 appearances for the Cityzens.
Norway failed to qualify for the Qatar World Cup after finishing third in their qualification group behind the Netherlands and Turkey.
