Pep Guardiola has been warned it could take Erling Haaland years to settle in at Manchester City if his teammates do not act quickly to accommodate him.
Haaland, 22, drew a blank on his competitive debut for City this Saturday afternoon when they were beaten 3-1 by Liverpool in the Community Shield. It was a game that raised questions over Haaland after his £51million move from Borussia Dortmund, but not necessarily ones for the Norwegian to answer himself.
Speaking about Haaland on radio station talkSPORT, ex-City manager Stuart Pearce said: "I don't think they utilised their centre-forward as well as they possibly can. If you asked Haaland at the end of the game; 'Did they feed you as you would have liked', I think he would probably say no.
