Erling Haaland Faces Manchester Derby Dilemma…
Just when you thought Erling Haaland’s only challenge was scoring goals, he reveals a cut to his face during the international break. A week before the intense Manchester derby, the star striker finds himself playing peek-a-boo with a bus door! Yes, the mighty Haaland met his match—not in a defender, but a bus door that landed him three stitches, leaving fans wondering if he may now sign sponsorship deals with public transport agencies. The good news is, before this encounter with the diabolical door, he effortlessly led the Golden Boot race with three phenomenal goals for City.
Haaland shared his new facial accessory with fans via Snapchat, humorously explaining the incident. With the wonderful humor one might expect from a man who scores as if he’s sneezing goals, he posted, “Just got banged out by a bus door,” adding that it was all patched up with a casual thumbs-up. Norway’s manager will likely shed light before Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier against Moldova, but locals suspect the striker was simply practicing his ‘dodging defenders’ skills off the pitch. Guardiola hopes he’s stitch-perfect for next Sunday’s big match against United.
