MANCHESTER CITY’S new striker Erling Haaland is forming a good relationship with Jack Grealish.
The Norwegian netted his first goal for the club in a 1-0 pre-season friendly win over Bayern Munich converting a Grealish cross.

After the game Haaland spoke about how he plans to continue to improve and his connection with the ex-Aston Villa ace.
He told Sky Sports: “He’s [Grealish] good. He has to get better, I have to get better, but good link. I like the vibe around him, so it’s going to be fun.
The 22-year-old is clearly already impressed by the England star and perhaps his introduction to the team can help to £100million man have a bigger impact at City this approaching season.
Pep Guardiola’s side have been playing without an out-and-out striker for a couple of seasons but Haaland is looking forward to taking the role.
He said: “As you probably all know, I’ve been watching a lot of City games for the last years and the last years have been without a striker.
“So of course I’ve been seeing myself in these kind of situations today, so I’m not surprised.”
Haaland had a terrible run against Bayern Munich from his time at Borussia Dortmund so getting one over his enemies.
He stated: “It was about time, I have to say, seven losses in a row, so to win against Bayern feels good.

“The quality is good and it was also good to play against Bayern to get a real test before Liverpool in a week.”
Haaland will be hoping to continue the form shown during his spell in the Bundesliga where he netted 85 goals in 88 matches.
But it will be a tough start for him as Man City face Jurgen Klopp’s side in the Community Shield in their final game before their Premier League title defence begins away at West Ham.
City fans will be hoping the Haaland-Grealish relationship can fire them to yet another title victory and maybe even the elusive Champions League trophy.
