Three goals in his opening four Premier League appearances and some impressive all-round centre-forward performances – it is fair to say that West Ham United striker Sebastien Haller had made a positive impression for his new club prior to the visit of Manchester United to the London Stadium on Sunday.
In the matches against Manchester City, Watford, Aston Villa and Norwich City, the £45m club-record buy arguably didn’t really come up against a top-class centre-half who is big and strong in the air – think Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk for example.
Another one in Harry Maguire lined up against Haller when the Red Devils made the trip south at the weekend, and the former Frankfurt attacker didn’t really get much joy from his battle with the dominant England international, despite his own 6 foot 3 frame.

The Irons may have run out 2-0 winners against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men, but the Frenchman would have learnt a lot about himself and what is needed on certain occasions in the Premier League in this latest showing.
As Football London said in their player ratings from the clash, he barely had any touches in or around the opposition penalty area in the opening 45 minutes, and while he may have had the better of Red Devils centre-back Victor Lindelof, it wasn’t the same against Maguire.
That said according to WhoScored, the 25-year-old won nine aerial duels throughout the encounter – out of a total of 15 as per SofaScore – although he failed to have a single shot on target.
Haller was also dispossessed on three occasions as he simply didn’t have things his own way, with a rather disappointing passing accuracy of 71%.
If the Frenchman was even beginning to think this English football lark was easy following his goalscoring displays against Villa and Norwich, this certainly was a bit of a rude awakening and would have brought him down a peg or two.
What is clear is that Haller needs to work harder if he wants to get the better of the likes of Maguire and be a huge success in this league in the future.
