Erling Haaland told he falls short in Kylian Mbappe debate because of Man City teammates

Erling Haaland relies on his Manchester City team-mates too much and doesn't create enough for himself in comparison to Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe.

That's an opinion held by former Argentina international Diego Milito, who believes Haaland "always needs service from his teammates" as Haaland struck his 19th goal of the season in City's 5-0 win over Copenhagen on Wednesday evening. The Norwegian averages a goal every 48 minutes and has already struck three hat-tricks in the Premier League - including one in the Manchester derby last week.

The 22-year-old has also chipped in with three assists and is showing exactly why Pep Guardiola signed him from Borussia Dortmund in the summer. Haaland's sense in front of goal to sniff out a chance is irreplaceable and he's producing the goods, with the forward already scoring 14 times in eight Premier League games.
