Erling Haaland confirms the Champions League anthem is his ringtone... a song Manchester City fans regularly boo due to their long-running gripes with UEFA

Manchester City fans would have no doubt been delighted to see Erling Haaland finally unveiled in the club's shirt - but one quote in his first interview may not go down well with supporters at the Etihad.

Haaland, speaking to club media after City finally announced on Monday that they had signed the hottest prospect in world football on a five-year contract for £51million, confirmed the Champions League anthem is his ringtone.

Asked whether the pre-match music was his ringtone for a while, Haaland replied: 'Yeah, it still is!'
