Speaking candidly about the toughest defenders he has ever faced as a striker, the Manchester City superstar admitted that while names like William Saliba, Virgil van Dijk, and Gabriel Magalhães are all ferocious competitors, none of them match the unbelievable quality of one specific Manchester United defender.The unexpected confession has spread quickly among supporters, sparking debate about who the defender is and why Haaland holds him in such high regard. His remark has added new fire to the Manchester rivalry, turning a simple statement into a major talking point.

 

Haaland, known for bulldozing through backlines with ease, didn’t hesitate for a second.

He said the defender in question is:

 

“On a different level. I’ve played against the best, but this one… he’s the toughest I’ve ever faced in the Premier League.”

 

The football world instantly exploded.

Fans were stunned.

Pundits froze in disbelief.

United supporters erupted with pride.

City fans were left wondering how one of their own had just crowned a Red Devil as the ultimate defensive force.

 

And here’s where it gets even crazier…

 

Harry Kane—yes, England’s all-time top scorer himself—once made a similar admission, praising the very same United defender for his elite strength, reading of the game, and unshakable composure under pressure.

 

Two of the greatest strikers of their generation.

One verdict.

One defender.

One shocking truth.

 

Something massive is happening at Old Trafford — and this defender is right at the center of it.
