On September 3, Graeme Souness, former Liverpool legend, spoke about Erling Haaland, stating that Guardiola’s system is stifling his power and that he would score more goals if he joined Manchester United.
Souness said about Haaland: “Would Haaland score more goals in a team with less possession? I believe the answer is yes. If Haaland played for Manchester United, the formations of opposing teams would be more advanced on the field, which would give him more space. If Haaland were to face defensive players one-on-one, he could beat nine and a half out of ten.”
Souness stated that Haaland is flawless: “He excels at all goal-scoring techniques. Even though he doesn’t often carry the ball, he can still score 2-3 goals in a game. He is as steady as a machine on the field.”
This season so far, Haaland has maintained an outstanding competitive state. In the first three rounds of the Premier League, Haaland has already scored hat-tricks twice, netting 7 goals for the team, helping Manchester City lead the league table.
