Pep: Haaland will get even better ‘He’s perfect to manage’

Pep Guardiola is expecting plenty more from the prolific Erling Haaland.

Haaland has made a stunning start to his Manchester City career, scoring 13 goals in his first nine appearances for the Premier League champions.

The Norwegian’s brilliant late winner against Borussia Dortmund in midweek led to Guardiola comparing him with Johan Cryuff and the City manager believes his quality will only improve.

Guardiola said: “He’s an exceptional striker, I’ve said it many times. But at the age he is, and I think he has ambition, he wants to be better, and I think he will be better.”
