VIDEO: 'We need no filters!' - Man City sensation Erling Haaland gives fellow ‘Viking’ Zlatan Ibrahimovic special gift ahead of AC Milan friendly

Norway international Haaland met up with former Sweden star Ibrahimovic prior to a contest at Yankee Stadium in New York. City’s superstar striker was on target in that game, as he broke the deadlock inside 19 minutes.

City, though, were to slip to another high-scoring defeat. Having already gone down 4-3 to Scottish giants Celtic, the reigning Premier League champions found themselves on the wrong end of a 3-2 scoreline when gracing a purpose-built pitch at an iconic baseball venue.

Pep Guardiola will not be reading too much into results at this stage, with pre-season all about getting minutes into legs. Haaland has been among the goals and was all smiles when linking up with Ibrahimovic – who is now a special advisor at AC Milan.

Haaland gave Ibrahimovic a signed City shirt, with the enigmatic Swede claiming that the pair needed “no filters” when posing for photos. Milan, with USMNT star Christian Pulisic back in their ranks, have further clashes with La Liga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid to take in during their U.S. tour while City are moving on to games with Barca and Chelsea.
