Norway head coach Stale Solbakken has travelled to Manchester for a summit with the City manager Enzo Maresca to discuss the management of star striker Erling Haaland. The meeting, held at the City Football Academy, marks the first face-to-face encounter between the two tacticians as they look to navigate a congested fixture schedule for the prolific forward.
The Norwegian forward's new look might have raised eyebrows, but his surprise trim certainly hasn't had a negative effect on the striker's ever-growing profile
Erling Haaland addressed his dramatic short haircut, Norway's historic World Cup victory over Brazil, and Manchester City's squad rebuild following Saturday's 1-0 win against Coventry. The Norwegian striker netted the decisive header to keep City's perfect Premier League start intact before reflecting on both past triumphs and new beginnings under Enzo Maresca.
