Khaberni - Norwegian star Erling Haaland, Manchester City’s top scorer, stirred controversy and interest on social media platforms after posting a photo with his fellow countryman Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the former coach and historic legend of Manchester United, the fierce rival of his current team.
The British newspaper "The Sun" confirmed that Haaland is seeking to gain experience from "the smiling assassin," where he commented on the photo with just one word: "Knowledge," which reflects his great appreciation for Solskjaer who had coached him in his early days at the Norwegian club Molde, ahead of City's upcoming match against Nottingham Forest in the English Premier League.
The report added that the timing of the photo and the reaction of the stars to it, including Jack Grealish, highlighted Haaland's intelligence in seeking scoring secrets from a striker who specifically holds a record against Nottingham, having scored 4 goals against them within minutes, which some considered "legitimate technical espionage" for the top scorer's benefit.
Analysts clarified that this closeness between the City star and the United icon, despite the historical rivalry between the two clubs, highlights Haaland's professional mentality that transcends club boundaries in search of excellence and performance improvement.
