Erling Haaland joined in the singing and chanting by Manchester City fans as the new signing was presented outside the stadium of the Premier League champions. It is a month since the Norway striker completed his move to City from Borussia Dortmund for 60 million euros (then $63 million) to seal his return to England, the country of his birth. Haaland has scored 20 goals in 21 appearances for Norway and netted 86 goals in 89 games in two and half seasons with Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund. Haaland inherits the No. 9 jersey vacated by Manchester City's all-time leading scorer, Aguero, who left last year for Barcelona only to be forced into retirement by a heart problem.
