Stefan Ortega has said that Erling Haaland is not the best technical player at Manchester City.

Speaking to 11 Freunde magazine, the German gave his two cents on the PS51 million (Sky Sports) man.

While Stefan Ortega lauded Erling Haaland for his goalscoring abilities, he does believe that he is not the standout technician at Manchester City.

The Norwegian frontman has set the world alight since joining City, scoring 52 goals in 53 games last season while winning the treble.

This campaign again, the 23-year-old is the Premier League's top scorer and a certain Lionel Messi believes he is likely to win the Ballon d'Or one day.

Now, Stefan Ortega has said that while Erling Haaland may not be on the same level as some of his Manchester City teammates technically, he is a phenomenal striker.

MORE MAN CITY STORIESErling Haaland is the best in the world at his job Stefan Ortega is right as Erling Haaland is certainly not the finest technician at Manchester City but at the most challenging facet of football, which is scoring goals, he is the best in the world.

Many often give the former Borussia Dortmund hitman stick for the fact that his all-round game is quite limited.

Yet, Haaland's elite movement, astute positioning and clinical finishing is what makes him a once-in-a-lifetime goalscorer.

The Leeds-born striker would perhaps go up a level if his technical ability improved but ultimately, for a striker, he has everything in his locker to continue to dominate defenders for years on end.
