Sheringham has linked Guardiola's future at Man City to Haaland's records
Manchester City goalkeeper Erling Haaland continues to break all sorts of Premier League scoring records, but there is a mark that the Citizens' leader has yet to conquer. However, there is a condition under which the Norwegian can reach the coveted mark.
Details: According to former Manchester United forward Teddy Sheringham, Haaland is well-placed to reach 261 goals and become the top scorer in Premier League history, displacing Alan Shearer, but it requires Manchester City to continue to be managed by Pep Guardiola.
Quote: ‘Manchester City's chances of continuing to win and Haaland becoming the top Premier League goalscorer in history are tied to Guardiola staying at the club. If he decides to stay, Haaland has a chance to continue his career and become the biggest and best in the league for years to come. If not, things will change very quickly,’ The Mirror quoted Sheringham as saying.
Recall: Now Haaland has 70 goals in 69 Premier League matches, that is, if he keeps this pace, he will need about four more seasons (including the current one) to score 261 goals and break Shearer's record. Guardiola himself is close to leaving Manchester City in the summer of 2025.
