‘League Two striker’ Haaland after Roy Keane’s criticism: ‘I don’t care about that man’ | Football

Haaland responded to Keane’s criticism for the first time after his star role against Wolverhampton Wanderers. “It was almost like you were watching a League Two player,” the Irishman said about the striker at the end of March after City’s 0-0 draw against Arsenal.

After Manchester City-Wolverhampton Wanderers, 23-year-old Haaland remained cool in front of the camera Viaplay. “I really don’t care about that guy, so that’s fine,” he said without flinching.

Keane has a history with Haaland’s father Alf-Inge. In 2001 he committed a brutal foul on Haaland’s knee in the Manchester Derby. Keane later admitted it was an act of revenge because the Norwegian had called him a poser four years earlier.

Against Wolverhampton, Haaland scored his sixth hat-trick in less than two complete Premier League seasons. After 63 games, he has scored a total of 61 goals in the English league. It was the first time he had scored four goals in one Premier League match.

By the way, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola brought his striker to the side ten minutes before the end. The two then had a small altercation. “He was fed up with referees blowing so little in his favour,” Guardiola said.

Partly thanks to Haaland’s goals, Manchester City remains on course for the league title. The gap with leader Arsenal is one point. City also have a game in hand.
