Erling Haaland showed off a new look in a Manchester City training session as he returned to his old centre-parting hairstyle. After a disappointing 2024-25 campaign, which was affected by injuries, the Norwegian goal machine is raring to take the field as the new season approaches. The Cityzens had a fruitful summer transfer window and will aim to regain their long-lost form this year.

Haaland is training hard to start the new 2025-26 campaign on a solid note and was spotted with a new look. He is back to sporting his old centre-parting hairstyle, which he had during his early days at Borussia Dortmund. Since joining City, he had let his hair grow longer and sported a bun during matches.

After winning the Premier League Golden Boot award in his first two seasons at Etihad Stadium, Haaland finished third in the top goal-scorers' list last season. He missed a considerable chunk of the 2024-25 campaign due to an ankle injury and ended up with 22 goals to his name in 31 appearances, seven behind top marksman Mohamed Salah.

Last month, while sharing a message on social media on the occasion of his 25th birthday, Haaland had taken a cheeky dig at all the critics of his hairstyle as he posted a photograph of himself, with his hair fully down.
