Man City's Erling Haaland will always have Leeds United in his heart as he prepares to return home

When the Premier League schedule was released three days after his move to Manchester City, the first fixture Erling Haaland looked for was Leeds away.

The Norwegian superstar, 22, claimed to have supported City all his life at his unveiling in June, but he was born in Leeds — where his father Alf-Inge played for three years before moving to City — and told Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten five years ago: ‘The dream is to win the Premier League with Leeds.’

Alf-Inge was at Leeds from 1997 to 2000, where he made 74 appearances and started his infamous feud with Roy Keane.
