The playwright Erling Haaland laughed off Roy Keane’s criticism and said he doesn’t care what “that man” has to say.
Former United great Keane has a bad past with the Haalands. When he was captain of City in 2003, he ended the career of Alfie Haaland, Erling’s dad, with a terrible tackle that he later admitted was meant to hurt. Even though Keane is one of the more positive reporters about City, he recently made news when he said that Haaland’s build-up play was like that of a League Two player.
Hasland scored four goals against Wolves, bringing his total for the season to 36 goals in all competitions and 25 goals in the Premier League. He missed two months of the season because of an illness. City’s chances of winning back-to-back doubles were helped by the goals, and the Norwegian almost certainly won his second straight Premier League Golden Boot.
As Haaland was being substituted, Pep Guardiola had to calm him down. The No. 9 was upset that he wasn’t getting enough support from the officials during the game, but he was calm when he got to the locker room. When Haaland did his interviews after the game, Keane’s comments didn’t even make him tense up; he just shrugged it off.
He told the Norwegian TV station Viaplay, “I don’t really care that much about that man, so that’s all right.”
