Owen Hargreaves has had an impassioned assessment of Erling Haaland as the striker spoke out in Borussia Dortmund’s game against Manchester City last night BT Sport.
Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund faced off in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, and the English giants eventually won 2-1.
There were many stories about Haaland before he set foot on the Etihad Stadium.
He returned to the club where his father played in the early 2000s. The 20-year-old is also reportedly the frontrunner to sign him this summer (BBC Sport).
However, the night belonged to another emerging superstar, Phil Foden, who scored the winning goal for Manchester City in the 90th minute.
Hargreaves: ‘Linked games are great’
Despite not making the scoring list as often as this season, Haaland remains fascinated by a potential dress rehearsal for his next hire.
Hargreaves is certainly excited about what he’s seeing from Dortmund’s sensational striker.
The former Manchester City midfielder said: “His shot obviously exceeded expectations. He didn’t get many chances today, but I think his spiking and connecting game was excellent.
“I think his speed surprised everyone.

“Everyone is talking about his shots, but his overall performance is fantastic. He runs smart, he runs behind.”
Hargreaves believes Manchester City fans will be happy with what they see of Haaland.
He said: “(Haaland) gets frustrated when things don’t go his way because he wants to do well. I don’t think anyone will be disappointed.
“You’re actually more impressed because of his linkage.
“The way he celebrates with his teammates when they score shows that he’s really happy with the others scoring too.”
Cities will need to splurge on cash
Haaland did not score against Manchester City, which may have come as a surprise. The Norwegian scored 49 goals in 51 appearances for Dortmund, making him one of the deadliest goalscorers in football.

City and many other European heavyweights want Haaland to lead their attacking line.
However, to get him out of Germany now, the Citizens will surely cost more than £17m.
