Erling Haaland has debuted a new look ahead of Manchester City’s opening Premier League match against Bournemouth on Sunday. Multiple outlets report that the striker has made a noticeable change to his hairstyle shortly before the start of the season.
The reports say Haaland cuts his long blond hair, resulting in a fresh appearance that stands out compared with his previous style. The Mirror additionally mentions that the change surprises figures including Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and other public figures, though specific details about those reactions are not expanded in the available summaries.
Overall, coverage focuses on the timing and visibility of the haircut rather than on any on-field development. Both sources present the change as a surprise, tied directly to the match-day context, with the primary difference being how broadly each outlet describes who noticed the new look.
