Erling Haaland says joining Manchester City was “a pretty good choice” and pointed to the trophies he has won after being asked about the club’s financial case.
Haaland was speaking to Norwegian media after an outstanding display in Norway’s home match against Wales. The interview marked the first time he had been asked about the ruling concerning Manchester City, who had previously been found to have committed more than 100 breaches of Premier League financial rules.
Asked for his view on the situation, Haaland said: “This question is a bit difficult for me to answer. It’s a matter between the Premier League and Manchester City, should I answer this question? I don’t know much about it, so it’s hard to answer. To be honest, I haven’t seen much about this. My focus is on playing well for Manchester City.”
The Norway striker was then asked whether the case could influence his feelings about Manchester City or his future with the club.
“I understand, you want me to give you an answer that can be a headline, but…” Haaland replied.
The interviewer clarified: “No, you don’t have to give any answer. I’m just curious!”
Haaland, who joined Manchester City in 2022 and signed a long-term contract that year, then highlighted his success since moving to the club.
“As I said, I signed a long-term contract in 2022. When I joined Manchester City in 2022, I made a pretty good choice. I think we can all say that. Look at the trophies I’ve won and my growth on the pitch, I would say the same myself.”
