Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has surprised fans with a dramatic new look ahead of the club’s new season. Known for his long blond hair, usually styled in his trademark top knot, Haaland revealed that he had chopped off his locks and opted for a buzzcut. The Norwegian forward unveiled the transformation in a YouTube video released before Manchester City’s season opener against AFC Bournemouth on Sunday.
The footage showed Haaland getting his haircut and capturing the reactions of his friends, family and teammates. The stunt initially drew comparisons to a previous Jacksonville Jaguars video featuring Trevor Lawrence, which falsely suggested he had cut his hair. However, Haaland’s transformation proved genuine when he appeared on the pitch against Bournemouth sporting the new buzzcut, confirming there were no camera tricks involved.
