The City forward scored 56 goals in the 2022-23 season, his first at the club after joining from Borussia Dortmund, which was his most prolific campaign to date.
But as Haaland prepares to face his former side in their Champions League tie on Wednesday (20:00 GMT), he is on course to surpass that mammoth amount if he maintains his current scoring rate.
With 98 so far in 107 Premier League games, he is closing in on becoming the fastest to reach a century of English top-flight goals.
Former England captain Alan Shearer set that mark at 124 games and leads the all-time league charts with 260.
Shearer, who starred for Southampton, Blackburn and Newcastle in his career, said last month Haaland has a “brilliant chance” of breaking the record, external.
But when asked if he will surpass his own tally this term, Haaland replied: “Which record? Not to sound arrogant!
“I had 57 in total, including with the national team [in the 2022-23 season]. I am in a good way but I don’t think of this.
“I don’t really know any records but I know his (Shearer’s Premier League one). Again, it is not something I can think about.
“Thinking about records I can break is the last thing on my mind, I try to help the team win football games. That is my job and that is my main focus.
“I know it’s boring, I know you want me to say the complete opposite but that’s not how it is. I have to ignore them.”
