A round-up of Tuesday’s biggest Manchester City stories ahead of the Premier League fixture with Wolves next weekend.

Alan Shearer says Erling Haaland is better than a Real Madrid icon

It’s not been Erling Haaland’s best season for Manchester City as injuries and a lack of form have meant he hasn’t reached the heights he showed last season.

But even still, he has 32 goals to his name, is the Premier League’s top goal scorer and has a strong chance of adding more silverware to his collection in a few weeks.

It shows just how high Haaland’s standards are when his campaign can be considered disappointing when he’s still been the league’s best striker.

Though he has come in for criticism from some corners, Alan Shearer has once again moved to sing the 23-year-old’s praises and ranked him higher than one legendary Real Madrid figure.

Bernardo Silva says he would love to play alongside his namesake David Silva one more time at City.

David Silva will go down as one of the Blues’ all-time legends thanks to his remarkable contributions during a trophy-laden decade at the club.

‘Merlin’ was pivotal to City’s early success in the Abu Dhabi era and has a statue outside of the Etihad in his honour.

Bernardo would love to play alongside him one more time and you can see what he said here.

Micah Richards says former City star was better than Arjen Robben

Micah Richards believes Manchester City used to have a player that was actually better than Arjen Robben.

The Dutch winger won all there is to win in the club game and was one of football’s most exciting forwards for years.

Though he enjoyed success at Chelsea and Real Madrid, it was at Bayern Munich where he elevated his game to another level and won the Champions League.

Yet, Richards feels City had a player who was better. Here’s who.
