Fans genuinely can't believe Christian Eriksen was marking Erling Haaland on a corner

Fans can't believe Christian Eriksen was marking Erling Haaland on a corner during Manchester City vs. Manchester United.

Haaland doubled his side's lead in the 34th minute after heading home.

He powered his way through, with Eriksen supposedly tasked to mark him.

But the decision to put the Dane on the Norwegian phenom baffled fans on social media.

Haaland made it 3-0 three minutes later after converting Kevin De Bruyne's cross.

Phil Foden then bagged Man City's fourth just before the break.

In the second-half, both Haaland and Foden completed their hat-tricks, with Antony and Anthony Martial (x2) scoring for Man United.
