Former Manchester City midfielder Didi Hamann has declared the Sky Blues were a "better team" before signing Erling Haaland in a withering verdict on the out-of-sorts striker.
City fell to a painful 2-1 defeat at Manchester United on Saturday afternoon in what was another blow to their Premier League title ambitions. Jack Grealish came off the bench to open the scoring at Old Trafford only for Bruno Fernandes to equalise under controversial circumstances and Marcus Rashford to net the winner for the hosts.
Haaland, 22, had a quiet game by his lofty standards and he is yet to find the back of the net in 2023, also firing blank against Chelsea in the league and Southampton in the EFL Cup. The Norwegian lit up European football in the first half of the season, plundering 27 goals in all competitions, yet Hamann fears he is hampering City.
