Roy Keane slams Erling Haaland for behaving like a spoilt brat

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane aimed Man City star striker Erling Haaland over the weekend as the Norwegian scored four goals in a comfortable 5-1 win over Wolves.

Haaland has 25 Premier League goals to his name and is in the running for this year’s Golden Boot award after winning it last season.

However, the 23-year-old cut a frustrated figure when substituted for Julian Alvarez late in the second half, as he spoke animatedly to Pep Guardiola. He also threw tape in anger while on the bench.

Guardiola later went on to suggest Haaland’s antics were a result of a number of fouls which were not given against him during the one-sided clash against Wolves, as per the Manchester Evening News.

Haaland is a spoilt brat

Keane, who was covering Liverpool’s 4-2 win over Tottenham on Sunday, held no punches in the studio when asked about Haaland’s behaviour. The panel were sharing their views on Mohamed Salah’s touchline row with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp at the London Stadium last week.

“We saw Haaland yesterday being brought off, not too happy… behaving like a spoilt brat,” Keane said on Sky Sports.

“But because Man City win the game and he scores goals, it’s almost forgotten about.”

It is worth mentioning that Keane had a long-running feud with Haaland’s father, Alf Inge, and was sent off for an horrific challenge on the former City and Leeds player in 2001.
