However, Ex Liverpool defender and television pundit Jamie Carragher believed the future sensation chose the wrong club as Man City’s playstyle didn’t suit him.
“He may have actually picked the wrong club to get the best out of him. We’re not seeing everything of Erling Haaland.”- Carragher said.
“Manchester City as a team will not play end-to-end football, it’s not Pep Guardiola’s way, they build up slowly, push the opposition back to the edge of the box and play from there.”- he explained.
