Jesse Marsch and Erling Haaland at Red Bull Salzburg
Jesse Marsch was previously Erling Haaland's manager at Red Bull Salzburg

The Whites fan is expected to cause issues when they face Manchester City.

Haaland's father was a player for the club when he was a child.

Haaland's manager at Red Bull Salzburg, Marsch, said that the Norwegian had sent him a text before the game.

He sent me a text when the schedule came out.

He was given permission to have a small injury.

He is a fan of the club because of his father's history with it. He and his father supported me when I got the job. We'll expect him to be ready.

In the first part of the season, the Yorkshire club picked up four wins but are now 15th in the league.

Although a number of players picked up minor injuries, progress had been made and the team's togetherness is strong.

He admits that they face a "monumental task" when they face the premier league champion.

We are concentrating on Man City right now. I would have liked to see their players go deeper in the World Cup.

They have a great group of people and a great manager.

We don't fear the big opponents. We know we can compete and get points, but we need a plan and execution to do that.
