'He thought he was alone... then Van Dijk arrived': Sergio Aguero says Erling Haaland struggled against Liverpool's star defender in the Community Shield, as the Man City legend hits out at the club's 'strange' decision to sell Raheem Sterling

Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero has hinted that Erling Haaland could take time to adapt to English football after his underwhelming display in the Community Shield.

The Norwegian striker has arrived in the Premier League with plenty of hype following his £51million move from Borussia Dortmund earlier this summer.

However, he struggled in Manchester City's 3-1 defeat by Liverpool on Saturday and missed a sitter from only a couple of yards out in the closing moments.
