WHAT HAPPENED? Haaland turned 23 on Friday while in Tokyo as part of his team's pre-season tour of Asia. Jack Grealish welcomed the superstar striker into the room where a birthday cake had already been lit and he was serenaded with a happy birthday song.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: City will play friendly matches in Japan and South Korea as they prepare to defend their Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup titles next season.
