‘Another reason to love Pep’, ‘GOAT’ – Man City fans react as Erling Haaland reveals what surprised him most Guardiola

Erling Haaland has explained the ‘crazy’ ability Pep Guardiola possesses ahead of Manchester City’s clash with rivals Manchester United on Sunday.

The 22-year-old has started the campaign in fine form, scoring 14 goals in just 10 competitive fixtures so far this season. His goalscoring prowess has left Premier League rivals guessing how they can stop him.

Ahead of Sunday’s derby, the Norwegian caught up with United legend Gary Neville and explained how he is settling in at City. “I’ve been watching it my whole life, I’ve always liked the Premier League,” Haaland told Neville for Sky Sports.

“I’m settling in good, the tempo is nice, and the vibe is nice. I like England.”

Haaland reserved special praise for Guardiola and revealed how impressive his coaching is. “The day before a game he tells us what is going to happen, and then the next day exactly that happens,” Haaland added.

“It’s crazy, I don’t understand how that is possible. He’s a football-holic, if you can call it that.”

These Haaland’s comments were shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.
