Manchester Derby: Haaland s crazy goal against Manchester United in history, with crazy goal record

The Manchester derby this weekend is expected to be very intense. Manchester United is in poor form and will face their city rival, Manchester City, to have a honorable showdown in the Premier League.

The main focus is obviously on Elling Haaland. The Norwegian striker became Manchester City's ace weapon to crack the opponent's defense. However, there is an interesting background that makes the showdown even more dramatic.

Haaland, known for his efficiency, has not scored in recent matches against Manchester United. The question is, can he recover in this most anticipated game?

This situation adds more fun to the competition between the two Manchester teams. In the derby, every touch of Haaland will definitely be the focus.

Haland's goal record against the Red Devils

Haland's performance was very sharp when facing Manchester United for the first time. In his first five games, he managed to score six goals at the Red Devils. This number makes him an instant nightmare for Manchester United's defense.

Unfortunately, this trend has stopped since last season. Haaland failed to score in three recent matches against Manchester United.

These records include the 2024 FA Cup final, the ultimate Manchester City defeat, and the Community Shield game without goals. Finally, there was a derby at the Etihad Stadium in December 2024, with Manchester United winning 2-1.

Now, this weekend's Manchester derby has become a chance for Haaland to break this goal drought. Manchester City certainly hopes their main striker will recover his keen sense of goal in the most critical game. Haaland's performance before the Manchester derby

Despite a mediocre performance against Manchester United, Haaland's recent statistics are still terrifying. In the Premier League, he was still able to score in Manchester City's 4-0 victory over Wolves and was the first to score against Brighton before the international interval.

This is not over yet, and his game against Norway is also very good. Haaland scored five goals in a 11-1 win over Moldova in the 2026 World Cup qualifier. He even added two assists, bringing his total contribution to seven goals in one game. The

record shows that the five goals tied Haaland to Hans Clark's record, whose last time he achieved this was 40 years ago. He is at an extraordinary level of efficiency in his last eight international games.

Bukka performed well, which is undoubtedly bad news for Manchester United. Haaland is full of confidence and determined to break through the goal of his opponent in the city again. If he continues to maintain this, the Manchester Derby could be his hunting ground.
