Fans have taken to social media after a video showing Erling Haaland in a Man City warm up, had some agreeing with Roy Keane's assessment that the forward's general play is League Two standard.
Haaland was criticised after his performance in the goalless draw with Arsenal at the weekend, where he miscued a golden chance to win it late on.
It was the fifth game in a row in which the striker failed to find the net for club and country, but his overall play came under fire from Keane.
The former Manchester United star stated that Haaland was the best player in the world in front of goal, but his general play needed improving and going as far as to say it was the standard of League Two.

Now, supporters have jumped on Keane's opinion after a video of Haaland warming up surfaced online.
The clip shows the City players performing a training drill before a recent match, and it's clear from the footage that the Norwegian isn't at his most comfortable.
During the passing exercise there are several misplaced passes and Haaland doesn't look like he's playing to his strengths.
Fans have been quick to comment on the footage across social media, with one instantly agreeing with Keane's critique of the player by saying 'Roy Keane was spot on when he said he's a league 2 level player when he doesn't score.'
With another agreeing with the sentiment by stating 'Great goalscorer, poor footballer' after seeing the warming up video.
The criticism continued online, with one scathing post stating 'Imagine being a 6foot premier league striker with zero technical abilities' and another accusing him of 'Passing like a goalie'.
A further post went as far as using the video to state why the best strikers aren't winners of the games top honours. It read 'Haaland is the definition of why best striker and ballon d’or are two very different awards.'
Despite the negativity aimed at Haaland over his display against Arsenal, the 23-year-old still leads the way at the top of the Premier League goal-scoring charts.
He's notched 18 times this season, two ahead of Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins, and has 29 goals in all competitions for Manchester City.
Haaland will get the chance to add to that total on Wednesday night when City look to continue to put pressure on leaders Liverpool, as they entertain Villa at The Etihad Stadium.

He doesn't need to do fancy dribbles. He just need to put the ball in the back of the net. Hes a modern day perfect striker.

That's why Mbappe is better than him, He can dribble, play ball on the ground,assist and also score the goals
