Manchester City have 'NO EXCUSE' for not winning the Champions League after signing Erling Haaland, claims Patrice Evra, as the Man United icon admits the forward is a 'monster' in front of goal and 'sharp like a cat'

Patrice Evra said Manchester City have no more excuses for Champions League failure after signing Erling Haaland.

Evra knows a thing or two about winning Europe's elite club trophy, being part of the Manchester United side which was victorious in 2007-08.

The Citizens lost in the Champions League semi-final last season to eventual winners Real Madrid, having lost the previous campaign's final to Chelsea.

City signed Norwegian striker Haaland from Borussia Dortmund in the summer after meeting his £50million buyout clause.
