Guardiola acknowledges Haaland's goal-scoring prowess and potential for growth

Haaland has scored a staggering 99 goals in just 103 appearances for City, with an impressive nine goals already in just four matches this season.

“He can get involved, but if you tell me he will score 99 goals in the next 100 games, for me it’s fine,” Guardiola told reporters.

“If he won’t improve, don’t improve. Score 99 goals in the next 100 games I will be more than delighted and City will be, too.

“Experience playing game and game and game, he will improve. It’s difficult to improve when you don’t play.

“The more games he plays here, he will improve in a natural way.”
