This is how much Haaland earns at Manchester City
Erling Haaland’s brutal salary was revealed, and Antony then published a serious injury report.
Here are today’s English football news headlines.
Talk of the day: Erling Haaland’s salary
Several newspapers focus heavily on Erling Haaland even today, including the Daily Mail which reveals the Norwegian’s salary at Manchester City. According to the newspaper, he earns just under £900,000 (about 11 million Swedish kronor) – weekly.
When Cristiano Ronaldo signed with Manchester United, there was talk of him being the highest earner in the league. The Portuguese earn £25.5 million (about SEK 317 million) a year, which is significantly less compared to Haaland, who is estimated to earn a total of £45 million (about SEK 559 million).
The Mirror is also reporting on a Change petition that wants Haaland to be banned from playing more games (it started with an account called “Ten Hags Reds,” so you can see when the person in question has had enough).
The description reads: “It is not fair. We can make a difference. It is time for us to act. This robot should not be allowed to continue in our country.” The petition doesn’t have the worst number of signatures yet, but it is close to 100.
Sweden’s ranking today: Lindelof takes sixth place
Manchester United narrowly managed to defeat Omonia of Cyprus (2-3). Victor Lindelof, who played the entire match, was given a modest sixth place on a ten-point scale by the Manchester Evening News.
The ruling in the local newspaper reads: “He was crossed several times and ended up out of the picture at goal, but it wasn’t his fault.” The Daily Mail, for its part, lowers the Swede’s rating to fifth.
The other Swede at the club, Anthony Ilanga, was not allowed in.
Today’s quote: Paul Scholes criticizes Anthony
– Anthony doesn’t run behind the back line. BT’s Paul Scholes says about his $1 billion purchase of Man United last summer that he seems to have only one string in his guitar, explaining:
Always bends in and passes the ball back to the full-back or shoots it. One thinks it needs to be developed a little more.
Today’s injury report: This is when Fofana will be gone
Chelsea’s fears of keeping Wesley Fofana out for a long time after the knee injury he suffered in a meeting with Milan has somewhat faded yesterday. The Telegraph then reported that the centre-back is likely to “only” miss four weeks of the season. But the information is different, and The Times believes that the Frenchman may miss until after the World Cup.
It’s just as bad for Gareth Southgate. Kyle Walker, one of the favorites for the captain of the national team, is expected to miss six weeks and thus could miss the World Cup, which begins on November 21 with England. Harry Maguire should also rehab the thigh for another 10-14 days.
There will be no Pontus Jansson this weekend in Brentford (who face Newcastle).
Pontus has a thigh injury. We don’t know how long he will be out of action, but he will miss Saturday, coach Thomas Frank said according to the Shropshire Star.
