Destined for greatness! Sensational footage from Erling Haaland's debut for Bryne in the Norwegian second tier - when he was just 15 - proves the striker was set for stardom, after he sealed a £51m move to Man City

Manchester City were quick to pounce to snap up Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund in a £51million deal this week - and a sensational video filmed during his early days in Norway as a teenager reveals he was always set for stardom.

Haaland has not always been the global name he is today. He made his debut for Bryne in the Norwegian second tier aged just 15 in 2016, playing the full 90 minutes as his team lost to KFUM-Kameratene Oslo in front of a meagre crowd of 1,649.

The small town is where his father, Alf-Inge Haaland, began his career, and the family returned there after he left Manchester City in 2003.
