9 | Erling Haaland - 2024/25

[Bluewonder]

Make no mistake, this is levels above seen in the top tier of football; Ronaldo and Messi packed numbers in an inferior league imo; this is different on so many levels…. He should have 100 prem goals by season end in 3 seasons, I mean come on….

He’d obliterate the lollipop kids record if here for half his career

Bollocks, Messi and Ronaldo were phenomenal.

For Haaland to even be in the same conversation as those two is extraordinary.

I don't know why, but I thought this would be a fun comparison (PL only - I suspect if I did all competitions it might look even stupider).

Last 8 Hat-tricks - Manchester United's Entire Squad	Last 8 Hat-tricks - Erling Haaland
12 Mar 2022 v Tottenham Hotspur (Ronaldo)	31 Aug 2024 v West Ham (Haaland)
16 Apr 2022 v Norwich City (Ronaldo)	24 Aug 2024 v Ipswich Town (Haaland)
14 Aug 2021 v Leeds United (Fernandes)	04 May 2024 v Wolverhampton Wanderers (Haaland)
24 Jun 2020 v Sheffield United (Martial)	02 Sep 2023 v Fulham (Haaland)
02 Mar 2013 v Norwich City (Kagawa)	22 Jan 2023 v Wolverhampton Wanderers (Haaland)
22 Apr 2013 v Aston Villa (van Persie)	02 Oct 2022 v Manchester United (Haaland)
02 Sep 2012 v Southampton (van Persie)	31 Aug 2022 v Nottingham Forest (Haaland)
26 Dec 2011 v Wigan Athletic (Berbatov)	27 Aug 2022 v Crystal Palace (Haaland)

So Haaland has scored more hat-tricks since United last scored a hat-trick, than United have scored in nearly 13 years.

All his goals have been great finishes so far

Terminator mode.

Wow!!

Don’t mean anything but 1 page of comments after the game when scored a sublime hat trick.

I said against Ipswich, he has made it look ordinary.

2 hattricks in 2 games is not.

 

[Silva&Silva]

As long as he stays injury free I wouldn't be surprised if he breaks his own record.

 

[Gigant]

I hope he will break his own record again, but also this one below it. Although he is a goal-scoring machine, throughout these two seasons I always had the feeling that he can score even more consistently.

What a goalscorer and got involved in the play a bit more

 

[Legal Alien]

Just said on the match thread, i'm running out of words for Erling.
He was unbelievable again, three top notch finishes!

We need to get him signed up long term, we can't afford to let him leave.
There's no one like him, a total one off and top teams don't let players of his quality leave.
