Erling Haaland told two Man City teammates will form dangerous trio this season

Erling Haaland stole the headlines by scoring on his Manchester City debut on Saturday night, but the Norwegian striker is not the only part of City's attack that opponents are going to have to worry about this season.

City enjoyed a short but successful pre-season tour in the United States, beating Club America 2-1 in Houston before edging out Bayern Munich 1-0 in Green Bay. The Premier League champions have now returned home to continue their preparations for the season, which kicks-off on Saturday in the Community Shield against Liverpool.

Haaland scored the only goal of the game against Bayern, finishing off a move that involved brilliant play from both Kevin de Bruyne and Jack Grealish.
