ERLING HAALAND HUMBLY SAYS MESSI, RONALDO REMAIN OUT OF REACH
Erling Haaland humbly dismisses comparisons to Messi & Ronaldo, saying "no one" can match their records. The Man City star instead focuses on team success and his ultimate career goal: qualifying for a major tournament with Norway.

Claiming that "no one" will ever surpass Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's goalscoring records, Erling Haaland has downplayed parallels between himself and the modern football greats.
By early November, the 25-year-old has scored 26 goals for Manchester City and Norway across all competitions, bringing his career total to 327.
However, Haaland lags well below the renowned pair's accomplishments.
The 40-year-old Portuguese superstar Ronaldo is on 952 goals as he approaches 1,000 in his storied career, while 38-year-old Argentina legend Messi has 892 goals overall.
"No, not at all," Haaland said when asked if he thought he was on par with the illustrious combination. I am a long way off. No, no one can approach those two.
The City attacker had his best season to date in 2022–2023 with 56 goals, his first at the club after arriving from Borussia Dortmund.
However, if Haaland keeps up his current scoring pace as he gets ready to play his old team in their Champions League match on Wednesday at 20:00 GMT, he is on track to surpass that enormous sum.
He is getting close to being the fastest player to reach a century of English top-flight goals, with 98 goals in 107 Premier League outings thus far.
Alan Shearer, the former captain of England, set that record at 124 games and now holds the top spot in the league charts with 260.
Haaland has a "great opportunity" of breaking the record, according to Shearer, who previously played for Southampton, Blackburn, and Newcastle.
Haaland said, however, when asked if he will beat his own record this term: "Which record? Not to come across as cocky!
"In the 2022–2023 season, I had 57 overall, including with the national team. I am doing well, but I do not consider this.
"I know Shearer's Premier League record, but I do not really know any others. Once more, I am incapable of thinking about it.
"I strive to assist the team in winning football games, and I am not thinking about breaking records. That is my primary emphasis and my work.
"You want me to say the exact opposite, but that is not how things are. I realise it is dull. I must disregard them.
In just 51 Champions League games, Haaland has scored 53 goals, making him the player who has reached the half-century mark the quickest.
In his debut season with City, he helped the team win the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League, and he also won Europe's top club championship.
He went on to say, "I am the same guy from as long as I can remember." "Not much has altered. Even though I have more life experience, I am still that child from Bryne in some circumstances.
"I am a Norwegian man, so just because I am scoring goals does not mean I am something. This will always be the case, and I am just Erling."
In addition, Haaland is poised to assist Norway in winning their first World Cup since 1998—"two years before I was born," he stated.
"My objective is to lead Norway to a World Cup and Euros," he continued. "I have been saying this for a long time."
"It is about taking the opportunities because this is my career's main aim and I have a strong chance of achieving it today."
And when Haaland declared that he was "absolutely" improving as a striker, it was a dire message to opposing defenders.
Adding, "I am developing good," "My health is good, I am taking good care of myself, and I am growing well."
RONALDO DELIVERS BRUTAL VERDICT: MAN UNITED’S STRUGGLES LEAVE HIM DISAPPOINTED.
Cristiano Ronaldo claims Man Utd "has no structure" and warns manager Ruben Amorim can't perform "miracles" in a new interview with Piers Morgan, delivering another withering assessment of his former club's current state.

In his most recent scathing critique of his old team, Cristiano Ronaldo warned Manchester United that Ruben Amorim cannot create "miracles" at a club that "has no structure."
Ronaldo took another jab at United during an interview with Piers Morgan on his most recent Piers Morgan Uncensored show, saying he is "sorry" to see the plight of a team he considers to be among the most "important of the century."
Ronaldo feels his fellow Portuguese has his hands bound when asked about Amorim's performance, as he leads United by two points after ten games this season.
"He is trying his hardest," Ronaldo remarked.
"How are you going to proceed?" Miracles are not possible. "Miracles are only in Fatima," as we say in Portugal. Furthermore, he will not perform miracles.
"They have talented players, but some of them do not understand what Manchester United represents."
Since Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos took over the club's daily football operations, Manchester United has seen a lot of change.
The recruitment process has been restructured with an emphasis on younger players like Leny Yoro and Benjamin Sesko, and Jason Wilcox serves as director of football.
Ronaldo, meanwhile, is not sure that he is helping Manchester United recover from years of adversity.
"I am sad for myself because of the club, which is one of the most significant clubs in the world, and I still hold a special place in my heart for the obvious reasons," he added.
To build a foundation for the future, as Manchester United did so many years ago, you must follow in their footsteps.
Despite their youth, Nicky Butt, Gary Neville, Roy Keane, and David Beckham all went on to become prominent players. Therefore, Manchester United does not yet have a structure.
Because of the club's incredible potential, I hope that things will change in the present and the future. It is among the century's most significant clubs.
TOBY COLLYER SIDELINED AFTER INJURY CONCERN
Manchester United loanee Toby Collyer is currently absent from West Brom training as he recovers from a muscle injury. Manager Ryan Mason confirmed the setback for the 21-year-old midfielder, stalling his progress at The Hawthorns.

Toby Collyer, who is on loan from Manchester United, is not participating in West Brom's training because he is recovering from a muscular injury.
During the summer transfer window, more than a dozen Championship clubs expressed interest in signing Collyer on a permanent and loan basis, but West Brom emerged victorious.
Ryan Mason, a former Tottenham midfielder, was tasked with guiding West Brom back to the Premier League this season, but the Baggies have faltered, and Collyer's loan period has not gone as expected thus far.
Following his arrival, Collyer was only able to make seven substitute appearances. Last month, he made his debut in the starting lineup against Millwall and continued to play in the following match until suffering a muscular injury.
As he heals from the injury, the 21-year-old is not training at the moment. To the Express & Star, Mason responded, "Well, neither of them trained with a team, so no," when asked if Collyer and a teammate would be eligible for selection on Tuesday night against Charlton.
"Toby is a young player, but we know we are going to need him and he is going to help us," Mason said in a previous compliment of Collyer. It has been a few weeks since I first wanted Toby. I genuinely believe in him, which is significant because I feel the same way about all of my players.
However, I believe you need to feel appreciated by the manager and the team when you go on loan, and he most definitely does. I hope we can assist him because it will undoubtedly benefit us if we can help him develop as a player.
"I believe there is a ton of space and opportunity for development. On the training field, that will undoubtedly occur. In actuality, the finest instructor is the game.
"Especially when you are young, the more game exposure you can receive, the better. I am confident and anticipate that Toby is aware of my belief in him, which is very significant to me.
"I am going to give him the same level of effort that I have given each of my previous players to help them develop and get better."
"He is a terrific kid, humble, wants to work, wants to be part of it," Mason continued. As soon as you talk to him, you can sense that. The fact that he loves football and wants to play is crucial. People who want to work and be a part of something are what we want in the building."
Collyer had a historic 2024–2025 season at Old Trafford, making 13 appearances in the first team.
One source mentioned Erik ten Hag's affection for Collyer last year, while another claimed that he records "freakish" running data during training that Bruno Fernandes is the only one who can surpass.
Collyer has received acclaim from Ruben Amorim. "He is getting better with the ball and has excellent legs. He has a good sense of the club and is aware of what he must accomplish to play for it. In January, Amorim stated, "He is really humble, and you get the opportunity when you work hard."
With a one-year extension option, Collyer's contract with United expires in the summer of 2027.
