Erling Haaland's dad cooks him his favourite meal before every Manchester City home game

Erling Haaland's dad cooks him his favourite meal before every Manchester City home game and it's definitely working a treat thus far.

The Norwegian has mastered the art of goalscoring and it seems as though the secret to his success lies in his lasagne.

On Sunday, after he smashed three past United, his father Alf-Inge revealed that he cooks the dish for his son before every Etihad fixture.

Prior to the Copenhagen clash, Haaland Sr posted a picture of the famous lasagne ready for his lad to demolish.

Clearly it's become a key part of Haaland's meticulous pre-match preparation and it's working wonders.

The 22-year-old, standing at 6ft 4, needs plenty of fuel while on the go and it was once said he "eats like a bear".

After greeting the cooks, the former Borussia Dortmund striker said,"All good? Because you should be my favourite people!"

One of the chefs asked Haaland if he wanted anything to eat, to which he responded, "Yeah I would like some breakfast, omelette please - cheese and ham."

While Tom the chef got to work, Haaland tucked into some fruit.

Although he largely eats clean and healthy, he has revealed his cheat meal is 'kebab pizza' - although that's probably not the ideal shout before a game.
