‘I’m confident the club know what they’re doing’ – Haaland

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland says the charges facing the club had no bearing on him signing a new long-term contract.

Haaland has signed a nine-and-a-half-year deal that would keep him at Etihad Stadium until 2034 – and makes him one of the highest-paid sportspeople in the world.

City are awaiting the outcome of the disciplinary hearing into their alleged 115 breaches of Premier League financial rules, which could result in a points deduction and even relegation.
