sport news Erling Haaland and dad Alfie take in some of the former cult-hero's notable ... trends now

Erling and his father Alfie sat down to take him some of the senior Haaland's best moments in a Manchester City shirt. 

Haaland, who signed for Manchester City this summer from Borussia Dortmund, was born in England the summer his father moved from Leeds United to City. 

Sitting down in front of the Manchester City cameras, Haaland Jr. took in some of his father's notable moments including the goals, assists and even the odd combative challenge that the hard-working Norwegian midfielder came to be known for.

With his Manchester City career becoming most infamous for his run-in with Roy Keane, his other moments have perhaps been forgotten down the years but Haaland Jr. and senior appeared to enjoy their time together watching the old footage.

His first yellow card was perhaps on the lighter side compared to some of the later challenges shown in the video. One, against Sunderland in the 2000-01 season, appears to leave Manchester City's new forward slightly bemused. 

'What are you doing?' he asks his father after a clip plays showing Haaland Sr. rushing through the ankle of an opposition player. 

'That's a red card,' the former RB Salzburg forward added. 

Adding some real Premier League years nostalgia to proceedings, a clip plays showing Haaland getting into a midfield battle with then-Leicester City central midfielder Robbie Savage.
