Manchester City took control at the Etihad Stadium to secure a 2-0 victory over Everton, thanks to Erling Haaland’s two goals after the break. The performance also highlighted the growing maturity of a City midfielder.

Real Madrid has begun discussions with Manchester City striker Erling Haaland’s representatives to explore a future signing. A reported €180 million valuation underscores the Spanish club’s ambitious interest in one of soccer’s most prominent young forwards.

Erling Haaland netted two goals against Manchester United, matching Wayne Rooney’s record. Now, he is just one goal away from leaving an even greater mark on the storied rivalry—one that also echoes a past connection through his father’s career.
