Pep Guardiola handed Erling Haaland warning as Man City Champions League theory raised

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side don't play in a way that will complement summer signing Erling Haaland, according to Dietmar Hamann.

The Premier League champions have completed the signing of the highly sought-after Norwegian, who remains one of the hottest properties in world football. Haaland has cemented his reputation at Borussia Dortmund, scoring 86 times in 89 outings and is set to be a huge asset at the Etihad.

Guardiola has employed a false nine system with Gabriel Jesus, the club's only recognised forward, often playing from a wide position. It means an alteration to the style is needed.
