MANCHESTER CITY star Erling Haaland has been pictured with a daring new hairstyle as he recovers from injury.

The goal machine was seen with two long braids rather than his usual haircut of the pulled back ponytail.

The 23-year-old made an appearance in a Halloween spoof that Man City aired on their social media platforms, where injured teammate Kalvin Phillips tried to frighten his teammates while wearing a mask.

Haaland was unconcerned and the England star was unable to terrify him, but it caused a fan frenzy about his new hairstyle.

City supporters seem to love it, one said: “Haaland’s viking hair is brazy – he needs to run a match with this.”

Another said: “He looks like something out of a film.”

More fans commented: “It looks better that way.”

Some begged for the Norwegian striker to keep his hair in braids and tweeted Haaland to say: “Keep the hair, pleaseee.”

Later on, the ex-Borussia Dortmund striker was photographed at a Halloween party in a viking’s costume paying homage to his Scandinavian heritage.

Haaland further celebrated tweeting “Happy Haalandween” to his followers.
