Unique Erling Haaland is Harry Kane, Wayne Rooney & Ronaldo combined. Gary Neville believes that Manchester City center-forward Erling Haaland is a mix of Harry Kane, Wayne Rooney, and Ronaldo in their pomp, calling him “truly unique.” Haaland’s second season at Manchester City could be even better than his first, according to Pep Guardiola. Haaland is near the precarious edge of setting another single-season Chief Association goalscoring record after a hair-raising first mission at the Etihad Arena.

“He is a battering ram of a center-forward with a brilliant finish and is something really special. If you are watching him play, you are watching something unique. It’s the same with Kevin De Bruyne, he is unique. But Haaland is truly unique.
“He’s a player that very rarely graces this league, they are normally at Barcelona or Real Madrid. In time gone by, maybe they would be at PSG. But very rarely do we have a player who would be considered in the top couple in the world as they arrive.
