Goal-Scoring Spree of Haaland
The Haaland came then. With such a goal-scoring machine! Towering height and physicality would mean nothing if he could not score. He scored so many goals in the derby. From those goals on his account, his team managed to take the laurels, thus breaking the record held by Wayne Rooney. It was a magical performance! Toughest Days for Manchester United. As He was netting yet another goal, United began to look gloomy.
The Secret of Haaland
The answer is: so many things. He’s fast, he efficiently exploits spaces in front of the goal, and he is a terrific finisher; he finds the net from any circumstance whatsoever when a mere chance of a shot is given. The guy is a dynamo, working his heart out.
Haaland-Rooney: The New Generation?
This is what Haaland symbolizes-the emerging mega-star changing the game and, in his proving, being among the present-day best. A new record beaten by Wayne Rooney is some achievement and really gives you some idea of how good he really is.
Authors Opinion

The further development of Manchester United remains the real hope of regaining its mantle as a winning side. In football, it’s all fun, really-who knows what happens next!
