Erling Haaland Best Men’s Player

A prodigious talent, born with the dawn of the new millennium in July 2000, almost as if heralding a seismic generational shift that, nearly 24 years on, is proving to be extraordinary. Already touted as the potential greatest of all time in Norwegian football history, he was quick to pledge his allegiance to City, his father’s team, a solid defender, in the United-dominated city where another Norwegian sensation, Solskjaer, had previously bolstered Ferguson’s reign.

Erling harboured a love for Manchester long before his arrival, journeying from Norway to Germany, but when he finally stepped back onto English soil, his impact was explosive. In his debut season with the new kit, he was crowned World Champion, European Champion, and England Champion, netting a staggering 36 goals to catapult his team to glory.
