'He'll be loving that draw': Glenn Hoddle insists Manchester City star Erling Haaland will be 'champing at the bit' to face former club Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League

Erling Haaland will be hugely looking forward to facing his former club Borussia Dortmund with Manchester City in the Champions League, according to Glenn Hoddle.

Pep Guardiola's Premier League champions, who beat Dortmund 4-2 in last season's quarter-final, were drawn alongside the Bundesliga outfit, Sevilla and FC Copenhagen in the group-stage draw on Thursday.

And former England manager Hoddle told BT Sport that Haaland, who moved from Signal Iduna Park to City for £51million this summer, will 'love' the opportunity to come up against his former employers.
