The press conference in advance Manchester City – Copenhagen for the round of 16 of Champions League I had to Erling Haaland in the conference and after the five goals conceded Luton City so we still talked about his enormous abilities and not about the “drought” of goals conceded.

Some rumors indicate that the striker is not happy in England and that he is considering leaving Manchester City. “I like life with my loved ones and I like being here”, he closed categorically.
