Man City striker Haaland takes aim at Man Utd
On Sunday, Erling Haaland made his debut for Manchester City and instantly set his sights on their bitter rivals Manchester United.

And Haaland responded, "I don't want to say the words, but... Manchester United," when asked which team he was most looking forward to playing against.
Haaland was formerly rumored to be moving to Old Trafford, but his father, Alf-Inge, was a City player in the early 2000s, and he admitted to collecting Sergio Aguero t-shirts, saying the club's all-time leading scorer is an inspiration to him.
The Norwegian attacker spoke of a Champions League quarterfinal matchup with Dortmund versus Pep Guardiola's team as the reason for joining City.
When you meet something in person, it's radically different from what you saw on television, he claimed. "I had a sense of that. I suddenly went for 25 minutes during the game without touching the ball. I pleaded with [Ilkay] Gundogan to stop playing tiki-taka nonstop.
"I must say, it's on a new level. How they play, how they approach the game, and how they create opportunities. I want to participate in that.
"In the end, I was just left with a stomach ache. I just had a sense for City because of the way they play, the feeling, and everything else.

Haaland downplayed the expectation on him to assist City win their first Champions League trophy and defend the Premier League.
"As a striker, I want to enjoy myself. I get goals when I'm having a good time. I laugh, I love to play football, and anything else. I just want to grin a lot in the end," he remarked.
