After the match, Scholes and Haaland laughed.

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes put another smile on the face of Manchester City striker Erling Haaland after the latter scored a hat trick to help the Blues beat their cross-city rivals 6-3 at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The match was between Manchester City and Manchester United.

The Norway international extended his impressive start to life in England by scoring three goals, bringing his total score for the season in all competitions to 17. After scoring his hat trick in the second half of the game, he scored twice in the first half, just like his teammate Phil Foden, to ensure that the Blues would have a 4-0 lead going into the interval.

The young man, who is only 22, turned in another phenomenal performance, adding two assists to the number of direct goal involvements he already had in his tally. United was unable to deal with his movement and presence at the top end of the pitch, which left manager Erik ten Hag to reflect on a terrible afternoon for his team.

Because of his unparalleled ability and potential, the buzz that has been building up around Haaland has been picking up steam at a breakneck pace in recent times. It is only the beginning of the Premier League season, but he has already scored 14 goals in the competition, and many people believe that this is only the beginning of what is to come.

As was displayed in the match against United, he is a terror in the air and a lethal threat with his left foot. However, in his post-match analysis of the game, Scholes joked that he is excited to see what the former Dortmund player can do with his right foot.

Haaland appeared for a post-match interview just as Scholes was making the remark, which resulted in the striker laughing because he had heard Scholes' remarks prior to his appearance. The laughter in the studio was caused by the presence of fellow pundits Michael Owen and Shaun Wright-Phillips, as well as the presenter Steve Bower.

When Haaland was just a few moments away from arriving for his interview, Scholes remarked to Premier League Productions, "He has just got everything." "The ideal center-forward possesses size, strength, mobility, and intelligence, and he possesses all of these qualities in spades. It is abundantly clear that he possesses an outstanding left foot; however, I am unable to comment on the quality of his right foot; however, I am confident that we will find out at some point!"
