Roy Keane didn’t hold back in his assessment of Erling Haaland, likening the Norwegian forward’s performance against Arsenal to that of a League Two player.
Haaland, who faced heavy criticism from Keane, struggled to make an impact in Manchester City’s goalless draw against Arsenal, a match billed as a potential decider in the Premier League title race.
Despite his reputation as a prolific goalscorer, the former Borussia Dortmund striker had a tough outing, completing only seven passes and failing to register a shot on target.
Keane’s critique of Haaland was scathing, highlighting his overall gameplay as subpar in Sky Sports’ post-match analysis.
“The levels of his general play is so poor and not just today. I think laying stuff off, headers, whatever it might be. In terms of in front of goal, he’s the best in the world.”
According to the Manchester United legend, Erling Haaland must elevate his game, as his overall performance was lacking.
“He’s almost like a League Two player, that’s how I look at him. His general play, it has to improve and it will do over the next few years.”
