Manchester City star Erling Haaland has the chance to match a rare Cristiano Ronaldo feat after the PFA Players' Player of the Year list was revealed.

Haaland won the gong in his very first season at City after scoring a record-breaking 36 goals in 35 Premier League games.

His numbers dropped slightly to 27 in 31 games last season as City won a fourth Premier League title in a row.

But Haaland was still included in the shortlist for the main PFA award, alongside teammates Phil Foden and Rodri, Cole Palmer, Martin Odegaard and Ollie Watkins.

The winner will be announced on Tuesday 20 August at a special event, with Foden looking to secure a double after winning the Premier League Player of the Season award.

But Haaland could well join an illustrious select group of stars if he ends up winning the prize for the second consecutive year.

Only seven players have won the prestigious award twice, with Ronaldo doing so in back-to-back campaigns in 2006/07 and 2007/08.

Mark Hughes was the first player to win it twice in 1988/1989 and 1990/91, followed by Premier League record goalscorer Alan Shearer - who did so with both Blackburn and Newcastle.

Thierry Henry, Gareth Bale, Kevin De Bruyne and Mo Salah are also part of the exclusive club - with the Liverpool star the latest addition.

The six-player shortlist for the Young Player of the Year award has also been released, with Chelsea star Palmer undoubtedly the favourite after a breakthrough season where he scored 22 goals and provided 11 assists.

Manchester United's FA Cup final heroes Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo feature, as does Michael Olise after a sublime season earned him a lucrative move to Bayern Munich.
