Man City's Erling Haaland reminds Paul Scholes of former Manchester United player

Paul Scholes has said that Manchester City's Erling Haaland reminds him of a former Manchester United player following the Norwegian striker's Premier League debut.

There was a lot of expectation ahead of the 22-year-old's first league game and he did not disappoint. Haaland got his City career off to the perfect start as he scored two goals either side of half-time during his side's 2-0 win at West Ham.

He was awarded man of the match for his performance and may well have caused several Bournemouth defenders to have a few sleepless nights ahead of their next match on Saturday. With their new striker playing ahead of Kevin de Bruyne and the rest of Guardiola's star-studded side, City have somehow become an even more terrifying opponent.
