Haaland's 18 goals make him the Premier League's top goalscorer and he is now up to 54 in 57 games in the league for Manchester City, but after a slow start, Hojlund is starting to show signs of potential for Manchester United. The Dane has scored in six successive Premier League matches, having only broken his duck on Boxing Day, and his absence from Sunday's Etihad derby was a major blow for United. Haaland was often linked with a move to United, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer trying to bring him to Old Trafford in January 2020, only for the striker to move to Borussia Dortmund instead. He is now leading City's charge towards another treble but he knows the pressure Hojlund will be under as the man expected to deliver goals at United. When we played against him he was really good, he’s a good player, he’s young like me, he has to keep on developing and as a striker for Manchester United he has to score goals as well, that’s his job," he said.
