Manchester City midfielder Rodri says Erling Haaland still has much to improve.

Haaland struck a hat-trick in victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Rodri said, "We understand that people doubt sometimes.

"But we know the player he is and what he came from. He needs three touches to score a goal, he's an incredible player.

"It is tough in that position because we are used to playing with a false nine that moves a lot and now we have him as a reference who doesn't move too much. He needs to adapt.

"Of course, his natural talent makes the difference but he needs to do better at being involved in the game – when to come, when to drop, when to go to the space. It's normal, we have just been together for one month."
