'It's crazy' - Erling Haaland reveals what surprised him most about Man City boss Pep Guardiola

Erling Haaland has explained the 'crazy' ability Pep Guardiola possesses ahead of Manchester City's clash with rivals Manchester United on Sunday.

Haaland has started the campaign in fine form, scoring 14 goals in just 10 competitive fixtures so far this season. His goalscoring prowess has left Premier League rivals guessing how they can stop him.

Ahead of Sunday's derby, the Norwegian caught up with United legend Gary Neville and explained how he is settling in at City. "I’ve been watching it my whole life, I’ve always liked the Premier League," Haaland told Neville for Sky Sports.

"I’m settling in good, the tempo is nice, and the vibe is nice. I like England."

The 22-year-old reserved special praise for Guardiola and revealed how impressive his coaching is. "The day before a game he tells us what is going to happen, and then the next day exactly that happens," Haaland added.

"It’s crazy, I don’t understand how that is possible. He’s a football-holic, if you can call it that."

When Neville brought up one of Haaland's main strengths - his physique - the forward explained that he is confident nobody can stop him. Looking ahead to the Manchester derby, the Norwegian sent an intimidating message to the Reds.

"I don’t think I need to say too much, all I need to say is, I’m ready," he said.
