The training regime that is making Man City striker Erling Haaland even more prolific

After scoring 14 goals in just nine games, you may think Erling Haaland has little to improve on. But you would be wrong.

The Manchester City forward has been in dazzling goalscoring form since his big-money move from Borussia Dortmund. But he is determined to improve even further and it has now come to light that while in Germany he undertook extra training to try and add more goals with his weaker foot.

The 22-year-old generally scores most of his goals with his preferred left foo. But during his final year at Dortmund he did extra training drills that focused on improving his finishing with his right.

These extra sessions were overseen by former Bayern Munich striker Alexander Zickler who worked as assistant coach for Dortmund last term. According to the Mail, Haaland said Zickler was the perfect mentor, given he had lifted a Champions League during his career — something the Norwegian is yet to achieve, but will hope to do so with City.

It appears the results of his extra-curricular work with Zickler are already working. Haaland scored four with his right foot last year and has two with his so-called weaker foot already this term.

Manchester United, who Haaland's City face on in this Sunday's derby contest, have been warned.
