Fantastic mentality from Haaland.Rio Ferdinand compared Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland with Cristiano RonaldoManchester City's Erling Haaland is a freak of nature and is constantly evolving. At 22, Haaland is already one of the best players in the world. His ruthless mentality is similar to Cristiano Ronaldo, according to former Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand.Ferdinand saw Ronaldo evolve from a promising talent to become the best player in the world. He has found similarities in Haaland's mindset, too. Ferdinand said (via Eurosport):&quot;It’s the mindset. I mean, that’s the separator. That separates the good from the great. This guy is going to be relentless, you can see it. I see shades of Cristiano in the mentality.&quot;Haaland has won his first Champions League, becoming the season's top scorer. Ronaldo won it five times and was the top scorer in all those editions. Fans will keep a keen eye if Haaland can replicate Ronaldo's feat.
