ERLING HAALAND has warned Manchester City’s rivals that he is still just getting into shape after his devastating Prem debut.
The 22-year-old hotshot struck twice against West Ham on Sunday.
And he linked up superbly with his new Etihad team-mates.
But he claims boss Pep Guardiola’s champions will only improve, as he develops a better understanding with the stars around him.
The £51.4million Norwegian said: “I am surrounded with amazing players and we have to build on things.
“We will become even better. It is still early in the season — and we have to get in shape for everything. But it was a good start.”

Striker Gabriel Jesus left for Arsenal and winger Raheem Sterling for Chelsea.
But Haaland is certainly confident he can make up for any shortfall.
He added: “There were good balls for the goals, this will come even more.”
