Former Manchester United legend Roy Keane has been criticized for likening Manchester City striker Erling Haaland to a 'League Two player'. However, former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore defended Haaland's abilities and highlighted his impressive goal-scoring record in different leagues and competitions.

Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore jumped to the defence of Haaland and stated that the writers in France and Keane “could lace his boots at the same age”. The voice of football in Europe gave Haaland a 3/10 for his performance against Real Madrid on Tuesday, along with Roy Keane’s League Two jibe, maybe it is time a fellow striker told it as it is to both and stated a couple of obvious things rather than jump on popular bandwagons,” Collymore said. “Firstly, the kid has scored goals in every team he’s played at. Lots of them too. Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, he’s done it in three very different environments. England, Germany, and the Champions League, all while being a relative rookie.
