Erling Haaland, a star for Manchester City, was reportedly observed using a phone while driving close to the Etihad Stadium.


The Norwegian goal machine was operating a dual carriageway in the New Islington neighborhood of Manchester while appearing to be distracted by a smartphone in his lap. 


He appears to be clutching the smartphone while operating his 300,000 Rolls Royce Cullinan, according to photos published by The Sun. 


The Sun reports that it happened earlier in March following his incredible five-goal performance in the Champions League against RB Leipzig at the Etihad to secure his team a position in the tournament's final eight.


One onlooker harshly criticized the striker's behavior and cautioned that using a phone while driving could have negative effects on both him and those nearby.


They claimed that since moving to City, Erling had barely made a mistake. 


"But, he needs to focus more on the road when he is driving and needs to review the law when he is driving," I said. 


Although it's a trivial error, it might be risky for him and other road users. 


The last thing City supporters want is for him to receive a bump and be forced to miss a game. 


Drivers in the UK who are discovered using their phones while operating a vehicle are subject to harsh penalties, including a 200 fine and six points on their license.


Similar to this, it is prohibited for drivers to use electronic devices while operating a car in Haaland's native Norway. 


Grant Shapps, a former transport secretary, strengthened regulations governing drivers' use of cell phones and promised to have a "zero-tolerance" approach to events of this nature.


I will do all in my power to keep road users safe, so I have decided to have zero tolerance for anyone who chooses to endanger lives by using a phone while driving,' he said. 


While figures showed that 17 people died and 499 were injured in crashes with one driver using a device, the RAC said that a third of drivers in 2020 said that other drivers using mobile phones was their greatest worry on the road. 


In order to join his international teammates for the Euro 2024 qualifying matches against Spain and Georgia, Haaland initially departed Man City, but a groin injury forced him to return.


His involvement in City's impending titanic match against Liverpool is therefore uncertain.
