Thierry Henry says he'd pick Kylian Mbappe over Erling Haaland after they both hit Champions League braces... as Rio Ferdinand backs the Manchester City star to hit over 40 GOALS this season

Daily Mail | September 6, 2022

Thierry Henry has insisted that he would still pick Kylian Mbappe in his team ahead of Erling Haaland despite the Manchester City scoring another two goals against Sevilla in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Haaland scored in both halves, either side of a Phil Foden strike, before Ruben Dias netted from close range in added time to wrap up a comprehensive 4-0 win for Pep Guardiola's men.

Haaland has now scored 12 goals in his first seven matches for City, but Henry still prefers Mbappe as he feels he has a more well-rounded game.
