Erling Haaland upgraded on FIFA 20 amid Manchester United transfer links

Erling Haaland is one of the hottest properties in world football right now, after a phenomenal goalscoring start to the 2019/20 campaign, which has seen some of the biggest clubs in the world linked with his signature, including Manchester United.

Despite being just 19 years old, the Red Bull Salzburg striker has scored seven goals in three Champions League starts and 15 goals in just 10 Bundesliga starts, which is an incredible record.

He was already highly rated on FIFA 20, but now EA SPORTS have given the young striker a major upgrade on the game, to reflect his real life performances over the last few months.

Here are the latest changes to Haaland's profile on FIFA 20 as of November 19th 2019.

The Norweigan already had some good attributes on FIFA 20, but now they're even better, with EA SPORTS giving him a huge upgrade on the game.

The striker's long passing (33-49), free-kick accuracy (51-62), agility (66-76), penalties (72-80), long shots (62-67), positioning (72-77), reactions (70-75), finishing (77-81), composure (78-80), shot power (76-78), stamina (73-75), ball control (74-76), volleys (70-72) and heading accuracy (65-67) have all been given big boosts.

But, they must have made him slightly overpowered previously, as they've reduced his sprint speed (92-89) in the latest update.

These changes mean his overall rating goes up from 75 overall to 77 overall, with his potential also going up from 87 to 88.

To put that into context, that means he can become as good as Sadio Mane, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Paul Pogba and Paulo Dybala on FIFA 20.
