'Not a bad start' - Erling Haaland evaluates his first season at Man City

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is eager to improve further after helping the Blues win the Premier League this season.

The Norwegian has been Pep Guardiola's hero this campaign after scoring a whopping 52 goals. This has included 36 in the top flight which saw him break the record for the most goals scored in a single Premier League season.

Haaland may have surpassed the high pre-season expectations of him but the 22-year-old is eager for more. Speaking to Sky Sports after lifting the title, the forward said: "These are memories I will remember for the rest of my life. We’ve been fighting so hard and honestly I don't know what to say - I didn’t plan anything to say."

Haaland then took a moment to revel in the crowd's chants before returning to the interview. "It’s special," he added. "I’m just gonna enjoy this day.

"This is a so special moment with the trophy and all the players and the whole club. Without the club and my teammates it would not be possible. Amazing.

"Debut season, 36 goals so far, Premier League trophy and two finals left - not a bad start." As Haaland rightly pointed out, City's season is far from over yet.

On June 3, the Blues travel to Wembley Stadium to face Manchester United in the FA Cup final. Then, a week later, City wrap up the season in Istanbul where they will face Inter in the Champions League final.

City have two more Premier League matches remaining, the first of which comes on Wednesday night when they make the long trip down to Brighton and Hove Albion.
