Erling Haaland thriving under Pep Guardiola’s demands at Manchester City


Norwegian footballer Erling Haaland has expressed his enjoyment of playing under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, as they inch closer to a potential treble in his first season in England.

Haaland recently set a new Premier League record of 35 goals in a season and has scored a total of 51 goals in all competitions.

Manchester City’s victory against West Ham has put them one point ahead of Arsenal at the top of the table, with a game in hand still to come.

They also have upcoming fixtures against Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals and Manchester United in the FA Cup final.

Prior to Haaland’s arrival, Manchester City had won consecutive league titles without a designated striker.

However, any doubts about his ability to fit into Guardiola’s system have since been dispelled. Haaland admitted that playing for Guardiola is a challenge as he demands a lot, but he tries to develop and give his best on the pitch.
