'All he needs to do' - Michael Owen sends Erling Haaland warning after second Man City hat-trick

Michael Owen has warned that Erling Haaland will ‘break virtually every goalscoring record’ if he stays fit.

The Manchester City striker scored a 38-minute hat-trick during Manchester City’s 6-0 thrashing of Nottingham Forest on Wednesday evening - his second in two games after netting three against Crystal Palace. Those goals have taken the 22-year-old to an astonishing nine goals in five Premier League appearances.

Such a start has only added to the fear among top-flight rivals that the Norwegian will take to English football in the same way he took to the German game, propelling his game to new levels under Pep Guardiola. And former Liverpool frontman Owen has backed the City striker to smash all sorts of records during his time at the Etihad.
