"Erling Haaland is Harry Kane, Wayne Rooney and Ronaldo combined"

Manchester United legend Gary Neville said Erling Haaland is like Harry Kane, Wayne Rooney and Brazilian Ronaldo all combined.

The Norwegian, in his first season at Manchester City, has scored 35 Premier League goals, suprassing the records of Alan Shearer and Andy Cole, the top scorers in English football in a single season.

"Haaland is trully unique. He has the Harry Kane's finishing, Wayne Rooney's power and Ronaldo (Nazario)'s power that he had when he ran, the explosion off the mark. Haaland is like four players in one," said the 'Sky Sports' commentator.

"During the season, many questioned and I was one of them: Does Pep actually like having a player like that? At times it has looked a little bit dysfunctional from how Pep likes to play," he concluded," he added.

"But it looks like that harmony is coming at the right point in the season where those moments where he delivers contribute so much more than when they had the perfection of everybody else that played," he concluded.
