Man City striker Haaland: Pep can be scary

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has finally lifted the lid on an incident with boss Pep Guardiola.

The Norway striker has been at his scintillating best since joining City at the start of last season.

Haaland, who scored 52 in all competitions as City won the treble, got a verbal lashing from his manager in a recent win over Burnley as he came off the field.

"Sometimes Pep is a bit scary," he said.

"But again Alfie Haaland can be a bit scary. But I like it when Pep shouts at me, he tries to get something in my brain that you don't think I have.

“I like it, I'm not complaining, he just wants to make me better."

"So I'm not complaining at all," continued Haaland.

"My father and me, we argue a lot, we have a lot of good moments together. So I'm not complaining there either."
