Erling Haaland: Pep Guardiola claims ‘no one can compete’ with Manchester City star

His hat-trick against Manchester United on Sunday was remarkably his third in successive home Premier League games.

Manager Guardiola said: “At his age no one can compete with him. The numbers speak for themselves and inside, in the locker room, and on the pitch we see things that are not in the stats.”
