ERLING HAALAND warmed up for his Manchester City debut with a kick around on a beach with some young fans. The £51.4million striker showed off his close control with six kick-ups using both feet in the surf on a Marbella beach. The 21-year-old then lays the ball off to another sea-soaked player to continue the game of keepie-uppie. The tanned and toned Norway hero also showed off a new look with his trademark long blond locks tied back in two cornrows. A video of Haaland enjoying his summer break with the impromptu kick about was posted on Instagram on Sunday evening. It got more than 750k likes within 16 hours and prompted one commenter to say it shows how he is still "down to earth".
