Manchester City's Erling Haaland has been named 2022/23 UEFA Men's Player of the Year.

Manchester City's record-breaking striker Erling Haaland has been named 2022/23 UEFA Men's Player of the Year.

The 23-year-old was ruthless in front of goal, scoring 52 goals in 53 games across all competitions as Pep Guardiola's team achieved a remarkable treble of Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League. Haaland finished as top scorer in both competitions, hitting 12 in Europe and 36 in the Premier League, the latter a new record.

The Norwegian saw off the challenge of team-mate Kevin De Bruyne and Lionel Messi to scoop the award, which was announced during the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League group stage draw in Monaco.
