Erling Haaland of Manchester City, according to Manchester United veteran Rio Ferdinand, might win the Ballon d’Or this year.
Haaland arrived at Manchester City in the summer after leaving Borussia Dortmund for £51.2 million.
On Saturday at the Molineux, Manchester City trounced Wolves 3-0, and the Norwegian was once more credited with a goal.
For Pep Guardiola’s team, Haaland has already scored 11 goals in seven Premier League games and 14 goals in 10 games overall.
On the correct path, he is. I’m going to say 35 goals. He’s with a squad that completely dominates, so he has the potential to break records, Ferdinand told The Daily Mail.
“He has the drive and the appetite. He is [in Ballon d’Or competition]. There will be no one who can compete with him if he keeps up this form and City win the Champions League.
“He scored tonight with his very first touch. He wasn’t in the game, but it doesn’t matter to him, the speaker said.
