After Rasmus Hojlund brought Rodri down in the penalty area in the 24th minute, Haaland converted the penalty kick to break the tie.

In the 80th minute, the Norwegian attacker crossed for Phil Foden to score from close range, completing the 3-0 triumph.

The two teachers and students discussed the Norwegian striker’s header at the end of the first half vs the scoring position at the start of the second half. Guardiola and Haaland smiled as they exited the pitch.On Sky Sports, Keane chastised Guardiola for “colouring” because he believed the Manchester City coach and his students could discuss in the locker room. “It’s all just for show and color,” the former Man Utd midfielder commented.
“You can discuss it when you get back to the locker room.” It isn’t difficult. Haaland has a fantastic header, but they don’t need to speak about it for five minutes on the pitch. Enter the tunnel and enjoy the game.” win”With a double against Manchester United, Haaland reached 20 goals in his 23rd away encounter, the most in Premier League history. Kevin Phillips (28 games), Ian Wright (31), Diego Costa (33), and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (33).

The Norwegian striker is still the Premier League’s top scorer this season, with 11 goals, which is the same as the entire Manchester United club.During the Sky Sports commentary, Keane also challenged coach Erik ten Hag to remove Bruno Fernandes as captain, claiming that Man City did not play at their best. “Things could get worse, as Man City could push it up a few more levels, but they are obsessed with controlling the game and controlling the ball,” claimed the former Republic of Ireland midfielder. “Man City have the ability to score more goals if they so desire.”
Man United would have lost if Onana had not made two or three outstanding stops.”Man United finished ninth in the Premier League with 15 points, scoring 11 goals and conceding 16, for a goal difference of -5. Keane criticised the team’s attack, claiming that Manchester United was physically outmatched in every position.
