Former Swansea City star Michu is proud knowing he was a hero to Manchester City star Erling Haaland.

The former Swansea striker swapped shirts with the Manchester City hotshot in 2020 after learning he was the emerging 19-year-old star's hero.

Michu told Cadena SER: "I gave him a Burgos shirt and he gave me a Borussia shirt.

"I'm glad he's having that impact in England, he's going to be a star at European level with Mbappe. They're going to reign like Messi and Cristiano did.

"For me it is an honour that a footballer of this level had me as a reference when I was younger.

"If he doesn't have any serious injuries, he could be playing 13 or 15 more seasons at the highest level.

"If all goes well, he will score more than 300 goals."

When asked if Haaland will play in Michu's native Spain, the 36-year-old reckons he WILL end up in LaLiga.

He added: "Surely he will end up playing sooner or later in our league.

"Although with the conditions he has, it doesn't matter where he plays, he will always score goals."
