FOOTBALL: Erling Haaland warns Manchester United he could be ‘unstoppable’

Erling Haaland says he is sometimes unstoppable

Erling Haa­land says he is some­times unstoppable.

The Man­ches­ter City strik­er made his Eng­land career a record, scor­ing a stag­ger­ing 14 goals in his first nine games as champions.

He has already scored two hat-tricks and is hold­ing back from try­ing to break the record in Sun­day after­noon’s derby.

And he believes that when Haa­land is per­form­ing at his best, no defend­er stands in his way.

The 22-year-old Nor­we­gian said, “He knows that if he runs with per­fect tim­ing, no one can stop him.”

He was Europe’s most want­ed man when he left Borus­sia Dort­mund this sum­mer, but he had only one des­ti­na­tion in mind.

The chance to work under Pep Guardi­o­la was a one-on-one match and the City boss has lived up to all expectations.

The day before the game he told me what was going to hap­pen and the next day it was exact­ly that.

“That’s fun­ny! I don’t under­stand how that’s even possible!”

The 180-cen­time­ter strik­er is already set to close out the sea­son as the Pre­mier League’s top scor­er, with many pre­dict­ing his goalscor­ing streak in half a century.

Espe­cial­ly with his father, for­mer City star Alfie, in atten­dance, he will be keen to con­tin­ue his win­ning streak in his first ever Man­ches­ter showdown.

In 2001, Roy Keane was sent off for an embar­rass­ing tack­le, wit­ness­ing the most famous match in Der­by history.

Haa­land insists he nev­er dis­cussed this, or the Der­by, with his father.

I haven’t spo­ken to his father about this match, but I’m sure he’ll be watch­ing in the stands,” he said.

“I think it means a lot to the sup­port­ers and as a fan I know that. I want to make them proud. I think the der­by is much more intense and it’s all at stake for the fans. increase”.

“I’ve watched it on TV with my dad a lot, but it’s the first time I’m com­pet­ing, so I can’t wait. It’s going to be a spe­cial moment for me.

“I don’t think there’s much to say. All I want to say is ‘I’m ready.’
