Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has dismissed form doubts for Erling Haaland.

Haaland has scored once in the last six games and still has the FA Cup and Champions League finals.

"I am not going to doubt the scoring machine Erling," insisted Guardiola.

"Maybe he's waiting for the right moment. He is ready to score.

"He doesn't feel pressure. When he hears disrespect, he laughs.

"He missed a clear chance in his first game in the Community Shield with Liverpool. There were memes and people talked about it.

"I didn't know him well then so I stayed closed to him. He just said to me: 'Don't worry. I'll score goals!'

"He is this type of guy. Incredible self-confidence. He will not lose it."
