Haaland

wastes

no time

 

This is the weekend that marks the start of the new season in England and more specifically gives us a second glimpse of Erling Haaland in a Manchester City shirt. He is set to lead the attack against Liverpool in Saturday’s Community Shield at Wembley.

The 22-year-old Norwegian, a 51-million Pound signing from Borussia Dortmund, needed just 12 minutes to do what he does best, converting Jack Grealish's cross into a goal that secured a 1-0 victory over Bayern Munich last Saturday in a friendly clash in the USA.

Haaland's involvement in front of a crowd of almost 80,000 was limited to just 41 minutes, but it did not take him long to demonstrate the prowess in which City have invested so heavily.

He said: “As you probably all know, I've been watching a lot of City games for the last years, and the last years they have been without a striker. So of course I've been seeing myself in these kind of situations today, so I'm not surprised. Guardiola is a bit crazy and I like that, so it’s going to be fun. It’s one week so I cannot tell too much, but I’ve been training good.”

In his 18-month spell in the Bundesliga, the Norwegian striker managed a sensational 85 goals and 22 assists in 88 games for Dortmund. The prodigious forward also has 20 goals in 21 senior appearances for his country. As a youngster he won the golden boot at the 2019 Under-20 World Cup in just one game after he scored nine goals against Honduras.
