‘Difficult’… Alan Shearer identifies a Manchester United icon as one of his most formidable adversaries.

Alan Shearer has identified a former player from Manchester United as one of the most challenging adversaries he has encountered.

Although Alan Shearer had several opportunities, he never had the chance to play for Manchester United. As a result, he frequently faced them as opponents during matches.

The renowned forward still holds the title of the Premier League’s all-time leading goal-scorer, having scored an impressive 260 goals. His record remains unbroken at present, despite Harry Kane’s departure to Bayern Munich during the summer.

Erling Haaland’s remarkable performance in England has already seen him score an impressive 54 goals in less than two seasons, potentially causing concern for Shearer.

With the exception of a small group, Haaland is definitely not encountering the same level of skilled defense that Shearer faced in the past.

The ex-Blackburn and Newcastle forward has identified a former Manchester United center-back as one of the most challenging defenders he encountered during his career.
