Erling Haaland has been branded “the ultimate s***house” after covering the Manchester United badge when a young fan wearing a Red Devils shirt asked him for a photo.
The Manchester City behemoth even cheekily told the youngster to “get yourself a new shirt” before walking off with a big smirk on his face.
In a short clip captured by Norwegian outlet TV2 Sport, Haaland is approached for a photo by a group of eager young fans. As he’s posing for a snap with the United supporter, he covers the badge on his shirt and says: “Wait, take the picture now. Take another picture like that.”
Fans on social media said the video summed Haaland up, with one user labelling the 22-year-old “friendly and savage in equal measure.”
“Ultimate s***housery from Haaland,” another user tweeted. “Proper Blue. What a legend,” beamed a delighted City supporter, while a second wrote: “Haaland squeezing the United badge the same way City will squeeze the life out of United next season.”
Another commented: “You might not like Haaland as a player that’s your opinion but as a person you can’t hate him he’s hilarious.”

The incident occurred in Norway earlier this week following Haaland and Co.’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Cyprus.
Norway won the game 3-1 with Haaland netting twice in the second half to secure three desperately-needed points for his country, especially after their hopes of qualifying for next year’s tournament were significantly dented after conceding two late goals in a 2-1 defeat to Scotland on Saturday.
Haaland was booed by a section of the home supporters in that game, but but the boo boys were deafeningly quiet during Tuesday’s back-to-business victory over the Cypriots.
