Erling Haaland to Man City transfer compared to Cristiano Ronaldo return to Manchester United

Former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha believes Erling Haaland will have a huge impact on the Blues in more ways than one, insisting his arrival in the Premier League is comparable to Cristiano Ronaldo's return to Manchester United last summer.

City, last week, announced that they had reached an agreement with Dortmund to lure Haaland to the Etihad Stadium this forthcoming summer, subject to him agreeing personal terms. They are understood to have agreed a fee of £51million with the German giants.

Haaland, who played his final game for Dortmund on Saturday, netting a penalty against Hertha Berlin, is considered as one of the brightest and most exciting talents in the world. He has gone from strength-to-strength in the last couple of years, highlighted by his tally of 86 goals in 89 appearances for the German heavyweights.
