Erling HaaLand insisted on covering up a Manchester United badge as he took a picture with a young fan
The Manchester City superstar has been back in Norway on international duty.
Not wanting to disappoint his legion of young fans, the 22-year-old stopped to take some pictures with wide-eyed youngsters. When a Man United supporter wanted a snap, however, Haaland cheekily had a condition.
As the snap was about to be taken, the striker covered the United badge on the kid’s replica shirt. Speaking in Norwegian, Haaland then said: “Get yourself a new shirt.”
He grinned as he subsequently walked off. As a clip of the exchange went round social media, United fans online had plenty to say.
Referencing former Red Devils skipper Roy’s infamous challenge on Haaland’s father Alf-Inge, one tweeted: “Keane haunts him to this day..”
While a second moaned: “He’s a clown.”
And a third blasted: “Everything about them is just awkwardly weird.”
While another pointed out: “shows despite Haaland’s success at city Manchester United is still the most loved club in his country.”
Haaland was in action twice for Norway during the international break. He netted a penalty against Scotland on Saturday, only to watch on in horror from the bench after being subbed as Steve Clarke’s men came roaring back to snatch all three points in the closing stages.
The Man City star bagged twice as they beat Cyprus 3-1 in Oslo last night, although they still trail the Tartan Army by eight points at the halfway stage of their Euro 2024 qualifying group.
