Haaland Looks to Solskjaer for Knowledge Ahead of City vs Forest
Norwegian star Erling Haaland, Manchester City's talisman, stirred chatter by appearing publicly with one of Manchester United's living legends, the storied foe of his current club.
Haaland disclosed that he is drawing on the wisdom of his compatriot and United icon Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to help him score more goals.
Haaland posted a photo with Solskjaer on Instagram ahead of City's clash with Nottingham Forest, captioned simply with the word Knowledge.
According to The Sun, Haaland benefits from Solskjaer's experience and from Solskjaer's former club Molde's coach, who previously hit four goals against Forest in 18 minutes after coming on as a substitute in the 72nd minute of a United win.
Jack Grealish, City's loanee to Everton, commented: Knowledge of Ole Gunnar.
The player did not let the rivalry between the clubs interfere with this collaboration, and City fans will be watching keenly to see if the tactic pays off.
In this rivalry, the only thing sharper than Haaland's shots is Solskjaer's playbook just don't tell Guardiola.
If knowledge is power, Haaland just downloaded the deluxe edition.
