Erling Haaland's dad explains why his son picked Man City over Real Madrid

Erling Haaland's dad Alf-Inge has explained why his son decided to move to Manchester City over Real Madrid this summer.

The 22-year-old has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water so far, having scored 10 goals in just six league appearances for the Blues. Haaland's latest strike came against Aston Villa on Saturday evening to give Pep Guardiola's side the lead.

However, City could not hold onto the advantage as Leon Bailey netted a superb strike 15 minutes from time to ensure that the points were shared at Villa Park. Haaland's arrival was welcomed by Blues fans as the prolific Norwegian followed in his father's footsteps to play for the club.
