Erling Haaland v Darwin Nunez - a breakdown of their stats as ... (Eurosport.com)

Manchester City and Liverpool have both signalled their intent for the 2022-23 season with moves for two of the hottest young forwards in world football.

He has scored a lot of goals in his career and we are going to try to help him through the game, having more chances to score goals. We have to win games and if we are going to win games we need everyone doing it the best way, arriving as much as possible. Haaland made his Norway debut in September 2019 and is seen as his country’s main man. He has since featured 11 times for his country, netting two goals in total. I always say in these situations if he is healthy, it's a big career ahead of him." I knew before, of course, but he played pretty much in front of me with his tough battles with Ibrahima Konate.

Potential signings look at United and while they know all about the club’s great history, they see a side with no chance of competing for the game’s big prizes. Nunez’s decision to jump at the chance to join Liverpool and snub United is a sobering reminder of how far they have fallen behind their Merseyside rivals. This summer was already a huge one for United with Erik ten Hag taking over following the disaster that was Wreck-it-Ralf Rangnick.

Erling Haaland has Darwin Nunez clash as Pep Guardiola and ... (Manchester Evening News)

Manchester City's new striker looks set to be in direct competition with Liverpool's new man next season.

Haaland and Nunez are particularly inclined to thrive on the counter-attack, showcasing an ability to remain composed when finishing high-speed moves. They could easily benefit from having a natural striker up front, but they might have to become accustomed to building moves with one less player. Both players overperformed Expected Goals (xG) in the process, which offers an insight into their finishing proficiency in comparison to the average player. With neither side fielding a traditional striker, every player for both sides has been inclined to engage in build-up play. Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp have work to do as they reshape their attacking approaches in the coming months. Erling Haaland will lead the line at the Etihad next season, and comparisons with Darwin Nunez seem inevitable.

Liverpool and Man City evolve together as Darwin Núñez and Erling ... (Liverpool.com)

Manchester City and Liverpool have both pioneered systems without orthodox strikers, but Erling Haaland and Darwin Núñez represent a change for both sides.

And so, as we enter a new era of rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester City, the protagonists have been cast. One of the most intriguing subplots of the season will be how Guardiola and Klopp maintain their dominance while tweaking their systems. The nature of the juggernauts constructed by Klopp and Guardiola means that both Liverpool and Manchester City will expect to dominate almost every match. They will each be given a clear brief: put the ball in the back of the net. No doubt the players themselves will be asked to change their games too, but it seems clear that a change of approach is on the cards for both Liverpool and Manchester City — each have signed classic number nines, having previously pioneered systems without them. Most of the time, the numbers game prevails: a vast amount of possession turns into a reasonable number of presentable chances, enough of which are put away to secure three points.

After being introduced to several members of City staff, including the catering team, Haaland met outgoing midfielder Fernandinho and his son. He then travelled to City's training ground for the very first time and was immediately impressed before he had even jumped out his chauffeur-driven people carrier. Haaland also shook hands with Fernandinho's son, who later posed for a photograph with City's latest recruit. He has enormous potential and is continuing to go from strength-to-strength at a rapid rate of knots. He is understood to have joined the club for an initial fee of £51million.

Manchester City have secured the services of one of the most prolific strikers in Europe with the signing of Erling Haaland.

He is one of only 10 players to score three times in his first Champions League appearance, with only Rooney (18 years, 340 days) doing so at a younger age than Haaland (19 years, 58 days). That ensured he became the first player to score five times in his first two Bundesliga appearances and seven in his first three. He was also the first player to score 25 goals in his first 25 Bundesliga appearances and the youngest and quickest to net 50 times in the competition.

The signs are ominous for City’s opponents but moving from the Bundesliga to the Premier League is easier said than done, especially for forwards. They needed 16.6 touches inside the area per goal, which was the seventh-best return in the Premier League. Liverpool needed 15.7 touches in the area per goal. Liverpool converted 55.3% of their clearcut chances – the best conversion rate in the league – whereas City scored from 46.7%, the fifth-best. He scored from 78.3% of his clearcut chances in the Bundesliga this season, the best return for any player presented with 10 or more clear chances. City did not have a player to shoulder the goalscoring burden this season. Manchester City scored 99 goals on their way to winning the Premier League title this season.
