Erling Haaland insists he “doesn’t care” what pundits say following criticism of his performances

Erling Haaland has insisted criticism is just “part of life” and he “doesn’t care” what pundits have to say about him in the media.

Haaland is having another brilliant season and is on course to win the Premier League Golden Boot for the second consecutive season, and currently tops the standings with 25 goals, four clear of Cole Palmer in second.

The Norwegian’s goals have taken Manchester City to within touching distance of becoming the first team to win four Premier League titles in a row and another FA Cup truimph.

“I just have to focus on what I should do on the pitch and my job is not to be like Rodri, to control a game, it’s being in the box and up front for City, finishing the attacks and that’s my focus.

“I don’t care about what people say or anything, it’s about focussing on helping the team to win.”

Haaland’s focus will now be on Tuesday night’s huge game away at Tottenham and the last game of the campaign at home to West Ham, before all eyes turn to the FA Cup final against Manchester United.
