Haaland's haircut: Man City star chops off his locks for the new season
MANCHESTER, England (AP) --- Erling Haaland's famed flowing locks are no more.
The Manchester City superstar has a new hairstyle for the new Premier League
season: A buzz cut that went viral on social media on Sunday ahead of the
team's opening match against Bournemouth.
The Norway striker has become one of the most easily distinguishable sport
stars in recent years because of his long hair.
In a video on Haaland's YouTube channel, Zlatan Ibrahimovic asked if the City
striker had "lost a bet" when he was shown the new hairstyle.
"You gonna be faster now, or what?" Ibrahimovic said.
Former City manager Pep Guardiola reacted to the haircut by saying: "You're
lucky to have hair. I would love to have it!"
Haaland arrived at Etihad Stadium for the Bournemouth game wearing a cap, but
that had been removed for the warmup --- revealing the buzz cut.
