Cristiano Ronaldo has already told Manchester City's latest addition Erling Haaland what he must do to avoid being a Premier League flop.
The 37-year-old has been at the peak of his powers for the best part of 15 years, winning multiple Champions League winners medals and respective league honours in Spain and Italy. Last summer, Ronaldo made a sensational return to Manchester United and despite many predictions that he may struggle, he has 24 goals in 39 appearances this season.
Haaland completed his £51m move to United's cross-city rivals on Tuesday and will become a City player in July,subject to agreeing to personal terms. While some predict monumental achievements for the 21-year-old, Ronaldo has previously explained how he can be spoken about in the same breath as the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.

"It is hard to choose just one player to say this one will be the best," he said in 2021. "But I think it is exciting to see this new generation of young players, like Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe, who are coming through.
"Some players can have one or two great seasons, the really great players are the ones that keep doing it season after season, and that is not so easy to do. It takes a lot of hard work, and a lot of commitment."
