Erling Haaland lifts lid on Man City training sessions under Pep Guardiola
23.07.2022 - 13:41 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Erling Haaland said the quality on show in Manchester City's training sessions is "something else", as Riyad Mahrez said he is confident the Blues' style of play won't change following the arrival of the Norwegian.
City completed the £51m signing of the 22-year-old striker last month, and the weeks since have been filled with speculation about how he will fit into Pep Guardiola's title-winning side.
This week Haaland sat out City's opening pre-season friendly of the summer with some minor discomfort, a 2-1 defeat of Club America in which fellow new recruit Julian Alvarez impressed up-front. Haaland is expected to feature against Bayern Munich on Saturday, as City up their preparations ahead of a Community Shield meeting with Liverpool next weekend.

The match against the German giants will offer a first insight into how Guardiola will use Haaland. Speaking ahead of the game, Mahrez had no doubts that Haaland will fit in well.
"He’s a very good addition to the team. Like I have already said, he’s a very good player and he's young," Mahrez said of Haaland.
The Algerian showed just why City offered him a two-year contract extension last week by brilliantly setting up Kevin De Bruyne to score in the Club America win, but he was honest when asked if he'll be able to strike up an instant partnership with Haaland.
Mahrez added: "It’ll be good to have him. I don't know until we start playing games together - we will see [about the connection]. It’s different qualities than Raheem [Sterling] and Gabriel [Jesus], but it won't change the way we play. We have been playing like this under Pep since he arrived at Manchester
