Gary Neville: Haaland is unplayable; He is like Zidane and Ronaldo

Sky Sports pundits praised Manchester City's new star Erling Haaland who score two goals in his Premier League debut.

at the London Stadium.

"Haaland gives them a different option,"

said Sky Sports pundit Roy Keane.

"City's passing, they toyed with West Ham,"

continued Keane.

"But even when teams push up, Haaland will threaten in behind now. It's going to be a different challenge for defenders now with Haaland running in behind. West Ham didn't cope.”

Roy Keane added: "Great quality, great running, great movement. He's going to get chances.

"The fact he's on penalties means it could be 30 or 40 goals this season if he stays fit and healthy. He's got so much quality around him. Good luck to defenders."

Former Manchester United defender

Gary Neville also compared Haaland to Zinedine Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo.

"There are few players you see that have absolutely everything,"

he said.

"The physicality, the strength, the power, the finishing, the understanding, the timing - they are unique.

"You could play against a Zinedine Zidane or a [Cristiano] Ronaldo when we were playing and think, 'There is nothing I can do here'.

"There will be defenders in the Premier League who won't make mistakes and be helpless. He's too strong, too quick. It's almost an unfair competition.

"He is unplayable. He is a giant and is still young, so if he stays fit, the rest are in big trouble.”
