Haaland: Playing for Pep key to Man City choice

Erling Haaland admits playing for Pep Guardiola was a factor in his decision to join Manchester City.

The Norway striker left Borussia Dortmund this summer for City.

He told Goal: "Well, Pep didn't have to sell the club to me, that's for sure.

"He didn't have to sell anything. To begin with, he is a special coach and that was so important to me.

"We all know what Pep has done for his clubs, but also for players and for the game in general. It's something I want to be a part of. I think we can have a lot of fun together."
