With 19 goals already this season, teams have been left scrambling to find a way to stop Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.
Bournemouth are the only team to have prevented him from finding the back of the net so far this season. But one Manchester United fan has come up with a novel way to save teams from having to play against the Norwegian international.
An account named ‘Ten Hag’s Reds!’ has set up a petition on website Change in a bid to get Haaland banned from playing football altogether. It comes after Haaland bagged a hat-trick against the Red Devils on Sunday as City humiliated their rivals in the Manchester derby.
The petition has been named “Petition to get Erling Haaland banned from Association Football because it’s just not fair”. The organiser has also explained why they set up the petition, branding Haaland a “robot”.
The description of the petition reads: “It’s just simply not fair. We can make a change. Now is the time for us people to act. This robot should not be allowed to carry on in our country.”
It was started on Wednesday, before Haaland scored two goals in City’s hammering of Copenhagen in the Champions League. At the time of writing, 47 people have signed their names to the petition, which has an initial target of 100 signatures.
