Manchester City legend chooses Kylian Mbappe over Erling Haaland due to his ‘all-round game’

Manchester City legend Micah Richards has revealed he would choose PSG forward Kylian Mbappe over Manchester City striker Erling Haaland due to his all-round game.

Both Mbappe and Haaland scored on an action-packed matchday two of the Champions League as PSG and Manchester City completed comeback wins. 

During CBS Sports’ postgame coverage, Richards was asked which of the strikers he would pick and he replied: “I would still take Mbappe. Because I love Mbappe, I love the way he moves.”

Instantly, fellow pundit Jamie Carragher jumped in, asking: “So you don’t like Manchester City’s Erling Haaland?”

“I didn’t say that,” Richards rebuked. “I just said I prefer Mbappe.”

Carragher posed the question: “So, you’d rather Mbappe play Man City than Haaland?”

“No, not in this system,” Richards replied. “Not in this system.”

“As a number nine, Haaland in Man City’s team I would prefer him, but all-round game, Mbappe.”
