MUNICH, Germany : Borussia Dortmund made a winning start to their season, cruising to a 3-0 victory over hosts 1860 Munich in the German Cup first round on Friday, a week before the Bundesliga gets under way.
Phil Foden has been full of praise for Manchester City’s summer signing Erling Haaland, but admitted it might “take time” for the Norwegian to get used to the Premier League. Haaland joined Pep Guardiola’s side from Borussia Dortmund after the Citizens triggered the striker’s £50 million release clause and hit the ground running during pre-season, scoring 12 minutes into his debut against Bayern Munich.
Haaland, who joined City from Borussia Dortmund on a five-year contract last month, showed a glimpse of his goalscoring prowess with a poacher's finish in a 1-0 pre-season win over Bayern Munich earlier this week. The 22-year-old's signing also brought an end to City's hunt to replace their all-time top scorer Sergio Aguero after the Argentine striker moved to Barcelona on a free transfer last year.
Phil Foden has described new teammate Erling Haaland's prowess in front of goal as “scary” and predicted the big striker will be a huge success for Manchester City.
A lot has been made of new Manchester United signing Lisandro Martinez’s height as a central defender.
Manchester City will start next season in the familiar role of title favourites after refusing to rest on their laurels once again.
