Man City ace Haaland: Mbappe comparisons do not interest me

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland admits he doesn't like comparisons with PSG rival Kylian Mbappe.

The pair are expected to dominate football in the coming years.

Haaland told Viaplay: "I do not like to compare myself with others. I am a unique player in my own way, so I do not like such comparisons.

"For the past 10 years, the media have done this to (Cristiano) Ronaldo and (Lionel) Messi, and the players themselves have pushed each other — that's good.

"In addition, they played for Real (Madrid) and Barcelona, perfect rivalry. But I don't think about such things.

"Mbappe is a wonderful young player. Do not forget what he achieved at such a young age, and we will see new achievements. I am focus on myself. I work every day to become the best version of myself both on the field and beyond."
