Erling Haaland has credited Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with helping develop his heading, after being found lacking in that department before playing under his fellow Norwegian.
Haaland and Solskjaer were together at Molde in their homeland, finishing second in the Eliteserien in 2018. Solskjaer would take over at Manchester United weeks after the end of the season, eventually taking over on a permanent basis, while Haaland would eventually leave for Red Bull Salzburg in January 2019.
The 22-year-old striker is now top scorer in the Premier League for Manchester City, having spent time with Borussia Dortmund in the interim. Reflecting on his time back in Norway, though, he has given credit to his then-manager for unlocking a key part of his game.
