ERLING HAALAND sent a chilling warning across Europe after declaring: There’s more to come.
The Borussia Dortmund hotshot has bagged seven goals in three games – one every 19 minutes – since his move from Red Bull Salzburg.

Those Bundesliga records highlight the amazing start for former Manchester United target Haaland, 19, in Germany.
But £18million Haaland warned after the 5-0 win over Union Berlin: “I need to get fitter but that will come with more games.
“I’m not yet at 100 per cent. It was really tough but it was also nice.”
Haaland has teamed up with England’s Jadon Sancho in attack.
He added: “You can see on the pitch the relationship is very good. He’s a great guy.
“I’m enjoying my time here so far. My team-mates are good and as you can see that makes it easier for me.
UNDERSTANDING WITH SANCHO
“We do everything in English. But what is most important is that we understand each other on the field based on instinct – just like today.”
United were strongly linked with Haaland before his switch to the German title challengers at the start of last month’s transfer window.
And Saturday’s double against Union Berlin made him the highest-scoring Bundesliga teenager of all time – on his first start.
Meanwhile, Sancho became the first teen to bag 25 German top-flight goals with a deflected opener.
Haaland then tapped home on 18 minutes and rounded off the rout in the 76th.
Inbetween times, the Norwegian also won a penalty converted by Marco Reus to make it 3-0.
And Sancho crossed for Axel Witsel to quickly make it four on 70 minutes.
