Former Real Madrid star Steve McManaman thinks it is bizarre to suggest that Erling Haaland is already certain to head to the Bernabeu when his time at Manchester City comes to an end.
Haaland will lead the line for City against Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tonight (Tuesday) with Karim Benzema on the opposite side in a clash of the game’s best two strikers.
While there will be stars littered across the pitch, it is the battle between the Ballon d’Or winner against the man looking to usurp him that leads the bill. But any suggestion, trailed since last summer, that Haaland is already destined to end up in the white of Real at the end of his City contract is hard for McManaman to comprehend.
