23 Aug
Summary
- Erling Haaland revealed a new haircut, surprising teammates and idols.
- Zlatan Ibrahimović had previously advised Haaland against cutting his hair.
- Haaland joked about fans singing his new look upon returning to play.
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has debuted a striking new hairstyle, trading his well-known man bun for a shorter cut. This significant change comes ahead of the Premier League opener against Bournemouth.
Haaland shared his decision on his YouTube channel, expressing a mix of nerves and excitement for a fresh start. The process of shaving off his hair was met with apprehension by those close to him, with his agent even calling it "the most expensive haircut of all time."
Iconic footballer Zlatan Ibrahimović, a noted idol of Haaland's, had previously given playful advice to "never cut your hair," likening it to Samson's strength. Despite this, Haaland embraced his new look, drawing inspiration from Viking hairstyles.
Teammates and football figures reacted to the transformation. Jack Grealish humorously noted Haaland looked much younger, while Pep Guardiola, enjoying a sabbatical, expressed a desire for hair himself. Ibrahimović, though surprised, questioned if the change would make Haaland faster.
