Erling Haaland explains key to Kevin De Bruyne partnership at Man City

Erling Haaland says the secret to his successful partnership with Kevin De Bruyne at Manchester City is instinct.

Haaland is the perfect target man for De Bruyne's delivery, and the striker has already scored 23 goals in his 18 appearances at City to date. De Bruyne is also enjoying a productive season, with 13 assists to his name so far. Among those have been some eye-catching crosses for Haaland - notably at West Ham, Sevilla, Aston Villa, and twice in the home demolition of Manchester United.

Discussing the balance between training and natural instinct, Haaland said there is a mixture of planning and improvisation when De Bruyne gets in a crossing position.
