Man City new man Haaland begins to settle down

Erling Haaland donned a black hoodie and carried with him a tie-dye gym bag as he prepared for his first full day since touching down in Manchester.

Haaland took a stroll around the city on Tuesday night to explore having landed at Manchester Airport in a private jet in the afternoon from Barcelona, where he underwent medical checks.

The Norwegian striker is getting himself acclimated to Manchester as he waits to seal his £51million from Borussia Dortmund to Man City, which will officially go through on June 1.

On Wednesday morning, alongside dad Alfie, who played for Man City during his professional career, and mum Gry Marita Braut, herself an able sportsperson given she was once a national heptathlete champion, he left his hotel for his first full day in the north west.

Haaland and his family looked to be trying to keep a low profile, with the City-bound striker pictured leaving the back entrance to get into a car.

His parents emerged from the front entrance on a drizzly Manchester morning in casual wear as they loaded some luggage into the boot of a car waiting outside.

Having reportedly had dinner with a some of City’s executives on Tuesday night, Haaland is expected to visit City’s training ground on Wednesday.

While the move will be made official on June 1, Haaland is expected to be at the training ground to pose for pictures and undergo an interview at the City Football Academy, allowing for its release once the move is announced.

Fans caught a glimpse of Haaland in Barcelona earlier in the week where he reportedly underwent medical tests at City’s request.

Haaland was examined by doctor Ramon Cugat, whom City boss Pep Guardiola has worked with closely in the past, with Cugat often checking the fitness of City players, according to The Times.

Haaland will be a leading earner at the club on a £385,000 a week deal, but City chief Ferran Soriano has insisted the Norway star hasn’t joined the Premier League champions purely for the money
