Erling Haaland, the Manchester City forward, has received praise from his teammate Jack Grealish, who believes that the Norwegian striker does not receive enough respect. This comes after former Manchester United player Roy Keane referred to Haaland as a “League Two player” following a lackluster performance against Arsenal in March.
Despite the criticism, Haaland has continued to impress with his goal-scoring prowess. He has scored an impressive 27 goals in the league this season, bringing his total to 90 goals in just 97 games for Manchester City. Grealish commends Haaland for his work ethic, stating that he has never seen anyone with such dedication on the field.
Manchester City is currently aiming for a domestic double as they prepare to face Manchester United in the FA Cup final. This will be a rematch of last year’s final, which Manchester City won 2-1. A victory in this match would secure Grealish his eighth trophy in just three years at the club under the guidance of manager Pep Guardiola.
Grealish also expressed his admiration for Guardiola, calling him “an unbelievable manager” and stating that he has been there for him during difficult times off the pitch. This praise highlights the positive impact Guardiola has had on Grealish and his teammates.
On the other hand, Manchester United will be without their captain Harry Maguire, who is racing against time to recover from injury before the Euros. This could be a significant blow for the team as they prepare to face their rivals in the FA Cup final.
Overall, Haaland’s impressive goal-scoring record and work ethic have earned him the respect and admiration of his teammates, despite the criticism he has faced. Manchester City’s pursuit of a domestic double and Grealish’s praise for Guardiola further demonstrate the team’s success under their esteemed manager. Meanwhile, Manchester United will have to overcome the absence of Maguire as they compete against their rivals in the FA Cup final.
