Erling Haaland says he has NEVER thought of playing in MLS 'because I'm young'... but the Manchester City star doesn't rule out following Lionel Messi's example in the 'last couple of years' of his career

Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland won't be following in Lionel Messi's footsteps and making his mark in MLS any time soon.

Messimania has already swept through the world of American soccer with the Argentine, 36, already helping Inter Miami lift its first trophy since joining David Beckham's club in mid-July.

Meanwhile, Haaland took English soccer by storm last season, winning a historic Treble and scoring 52 goals in just 51 appearances for Manchester City.

However, the Norwegian shut down any talk of him following Messi and taking his talent across the Atlantic any time soon.
