LONDON - Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has thanked Manchester City and their manager Pep Guardiola for teaching his team a lesson in their 6-3 Premier ...

Pep Guardiola took the opportunity to take Erling Haaland off at half-time with their Champions League game already won against FC Copenhagen.

"This is the secret of this team, the work ethic. "He plays a lot of minutes, the game was under control and Cole Palmer is an excellent player and was looking forward to playing. It's already an excellent result and better performance than we played in [a while]. However, he rejected the notion that it was simply for rest as he talked up the importance of his squad. The No.9 ran a lap of honour around the stadium after the match to dispel any worries over his fitness. "Today I put the best selection to win the game because we need the players in this tight schedule.

Erling Haaland continues to make a mockery of the Champions League, as he helped himself to another two goals in Wednesday's 5-0 rout of Copenhagen.

MANCHESTER, UNITED KINGDOM: Erling Haaland only needed 45 minutes to add two more goals to a remarkable start to his Manchester City career as the Eng...

The Norwegian has been on fire since arriving in the summer from Borussia Dortmund, with a brace against Copenhagen taking his tally to 19 in 12 games.

But Haaland will have the chance to take Mesi's record under Guardiola outright when City welcome Southampton to the Etihad on Saturday. That brace - the first a ferocious, lashed effort and the second an instinctive tap-in - saw the 22-year-old match Lionel Messi for the longest scoring run under Pep Guardiola’s management. He is breaking all kinds of records and sure enough another one was ticked off against the Danish champions in his action-packed 45-minute cameo.

It's early October. And yet Erling Braut Haaland already has 19 goals for the season, 14 in the Premier League and five in Europe. He's scored these 19 goals in ...

This extends right through to the architecture of the club. He tells us that this is a side built on an unusual sense of the collective, even to the point where the players are free - and actively encouraged - to tell their manager where he's going wrong. The men’s and women’s teams of all ages train on the first-team pitch and are all permanently based at the stadium. And of all the accolades and trophies coming his way, none will compare to that. The average age of the first XI in the league last season was 20.7 and 33-year-old Kian Hansen started 25 matches. Beyond the actual results, last night's edition of the Champions League turned into a self-contained Goal of the Week competition. Liberated by Chelsea's switch to a back three, he took clear and total possession of the entire right flank, managing to score one, make another, and keep Rafael Leao quiet for almost the entire game. And the key point of that blueprint? As a neutral, Haaland's compelling, in the same sort of way a video of a tree falling over is compelling. He contains both parts of the ideal striking partnership: the earth-shaking presence of the big man and the snaffling goal sense of the little man. Chelsea moved the ball quickly, threatened from all angles, and over the course of the evening they essentially overpowered Milan. At that point, we'll all be able to make a round of Halloween jokes - oh no, Guardiola was the scientist; this is Guardiola's Monster - but after that, we've got a serious problem.

Manchester City defender Kyle Walker is facing a face against time to be fit for the World Cup after undergoing groin surgery.

My operation on Tuesday was a success and now I can concentrate on my rehab and getting back to full fitness. I will be supporting my team mates every day in any way I can." [A statement issued by City read](https://www.mancity.com/news/mens/kyle-walker-injury-update-63800644): "Kyle Walker has undergone surgery after suffering a groin injury to his left leg during the first half of our 6-3 win over Manchester United on Sunday.

Erik ten Hag's Man United side lost 6-3 to Manchester City in the derby on Sunday afternoon.

Eriksen can get away with that role against a weaker team, once you got to Man City you need at least two players in the middle of the pitch who can play the position perfectly well, defensively, Eriksen doesn’t do that, we know how good he is going forward, what a great passer he is.
