MU met Haaland at the wrong time

MU faces Erling Haaland, who is in extremely high form, in the away match at Etihad Stadium in round 4 of the Premier League on September 14.

Haaland scores 5 goals before Manchester derby.

MU met Haaland at the most undesirable time. Just over a week ago, Haaland scored against Brighton to set a new milestone. With 88 goals, the former Dortmund striker entered Premier League history as the player who scored the most goals in his first 100 appearances.

And now the Norwegian striker continues to excel in the September training camp. He has been on fire, scoring the only goal in the win over Finland and shining brightly with 5 goals and 2 assists in the destruction of Moldova.

In the early morning of September 10, against the team ranked 154th in the world , Haaland and his teammates crushed their opponents with a score of 11-1, setting a record for the first time in 56 years that fans witnessed a World Cup qualifying match with 12 goals. The last time there was a similar match was in 1969, when Germany crushed Cyprus 12-0.

This is the fifth time Haaland has scored a hat-trick at the national level. Haaland has created extremely impressive statistics with 48 goals in 43 starts for the Norwegian national team. In the last 14 matches, he has scored 21 goals. This makes MU fans even more worried before the Manchester derby.

MU's defense is expected to have many difficulties when keeping up with Haaland.

In the Premier League alone, the striker born in 2000 scored 6 goals and had 3 assists in just 5 matches against MU. Meanwhile, the "Red Devils" defense has not been able to keep a clean sheet this season, conceding 4 goals after only 3 rounds.

Even at the start of the new Premier League season, Haaland has been almost unstoppable, with three goals in three games, his expected goals xG is double that of any other player.

British media unanimously affirmed that Haaland sent an early warning to MU. "Haaland shoots a lot but does not reduce the quality of his shots. Haaland also has excellent movement, judgment and reaction, making him an annoying monster for any defense," BBC commented.

Facing a rising Haaland and a defense that has yet to find stability is clearly a big challenge for the "Red Devils" on their trip to Etihad Stadium.
