Roy Keane criticised Erling Haaland after Manchester City vs Arsenal.
Last week, after Manchester City were held to a 0-0 at the Etihad Stadium by Arsenal, former Manchester United midfielder
The Irishman said: “The levels of his general play are so poor. Not just today - I think his laying stuff off, headers, whatever it might be. In front of goal, he's the best in the world.“But for his general player, for such a player, it is so poor. Not just today - he has to improve that. He's almost like a League Two player, that's how I look at him. His general play has to improve, and it will do in the next few years.
“He is the best striker in the world and he helped us to win what we won last season. The reason why we didn’t create enough chances is not from Erling. We need more presence in the final third with more people.”The former England man said: “I think Roy Keane has got a bit of history with the family so I can’t take too much with what he said.said: “We played an exceptional game. I reviewed the game against Arsenal, but we missed more people in the final third.
“Maybe for the quality and different skillset we have, but Erling is exceptional. Some actions he missed, sometimes it's the managers, sometimes the opponent is really good, there are many many reasons. In football there is not just one reason, sometimes where you have success or you don't have success, there are many reasons, it's football, it's a team sport.
