JACK GREALISH claims “unbelievable” Manchester City team-mate Erling Haaland does not get enough respect.
Manchester United legend Roy Keane cruelly branded Haaland a “League Two player” after a tame display in a 0-0 Etihad draw with Arsenal in March.
But the Norwegian has once again compiled amazing stats and Grealish reckons he’s the hardest-working star he’s ever seen
The England wideman said: “He’s just unbelievable – a killer. I can’t speak highly enough of him.
“This season he’s scored 27 goals in the league.
“It’s a bit disrespected – as if it’s not good. But he’s there every time the ball is in the box and I’ve never seen anyone with his work ethic.”

And another victory will see Grealish, 28, land an EIGHTH trophy in just three years at the club under Guardiola.

He told talkSPORT: “He’s an unbelievable manager — easily the best ever.
“There have been times this year where I’ve struggled off the pitch and he’s been there for me.”
United meanwhile will have to do without Harry Maguire, who faces a race against time to get over his injury before the Euros.
