Man Utd have 'secret weapon' that could help stifle Erling Haaland in Manchester derby

Manchester United face the daunting task of trying to stifle the irrepressible Erling Haaland in Sunday's Manchester derby - but Erik ten Hag could have an ace up his sleeve in the form of Jadon Sancho.

Haaland has adapted seamlessly to life at Manchester City and has already shattered Premier League records during his short stint in the top flight. The 22-year-old has plundered 14 goals in just 10 games for the reigning champions and will be eager to add to that tally when he faces United in his first Manchester derby.

To date, Haaland has only failed to score in one league match (Bournemouth) since joining City. And the Norwegian striker heads into this weekend's clash in red-hot form after bagging nine goals in the five league games since he blanked against the Cherries.
