Erling Haaland has apologised for Norway's agonizing 5-1 defeat to Austria in the Nations League on Sunday, branding his performance as "far too bad."

Erling Haaland has come under fire in the wake of Norway’s 5-1 thrashing at the hands Austria, with the Manchester City striker deciding to swerve questions from the media after the one-sided contest.

Haaland, who stepped in as captain due to Martin Odegaard’s absence because of an ankle injury, was left very disappointed after the defeat. Norway had hoped to maintain their unbeaten streak in the Nations League, but Austria took control of the game early on.

Erling Haaland has scored 15 goals for club and country this season, but he could not help his nation avoid a humbling defeat to Austria.

Manchester United fans have been full of praise for former interim manager Ralf Rangnick after Austria's 5-1 thrashing of Norway in the UEFA Nations League. The German-born boss oversaw the demolition of Erling Haaland's side and Red Devils supporters have been left speculating what could have been at Old Trafford.
