Man City defender Manuel Akanji makes Erling Haaland prediction that will worry rivals

Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji insisted that Erling Haaland is only going to get better after his scintillating start under Pep Guardiola.

The Norwegian frontman has registered 19 goals and three assists in 12 appearances in all competitions since signing for City from Borussia Dortmund in the summer transfer window. Haaland, whose goal tally includes 14 strikes in the Premier League, has also scored three hat-tricks already this term.

The 22-year-old scored three times in the 6-3 win over United at the weekend, with England international Phil Foden also grabbing a hat-trick. He has only failed to find the back of the net on two occasions this season, and his teammate Akanji has backed him to continue performing.
