Erling Haaland exchanged words with a Manchester United fan who told him he moved to 'the wrong side of Manchester' while out in the streets. Check out the conversation below:
The 22-year-old joined Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund in a £51.2 million transfer over the summer and already has 10 goals in six Premier League games.

In previous years, United contended for Haaland's signature and came close to sealing a deal in 2020. He opted to join Dortmund however and the rest is history.
Some supporters still aren't over it and one decided to have a chat with Haaland while he was out and about.
"Erling you came to the wrong side of Manchester," the fan shouted.
That saw Haaland reply: "They love me here! Yeah, they love me here!"

Haaland was then asked to join United next season and he continued walking, not acknowledging the plea.
The Norway international scored twice in City's 4-0 win over Sevilla in the Champions League on Tuesday evening, adding to his remarkable tally in the competition.
Haaland has 25 goals in 20 Champions League appearances, with only 31 other men scoring more.

City manager Pep Guardiola praised his prowess in front of goal and lauded Haaland as one of the world's best strikers.
He told reporters: "There is a shot from outside the area (and) a rebound, he is there. There is a cross, he is there.
"He is in the right place in the right moment, not a second before nor a second after. It is a great virtue.
"It is a born instinct he has carried from the cradle and he has shown in Austria, in Germany and now with us.
"It is a unique reality of this player. It is a natural instinct to score goals."

Ironically, City's next Premier League fixture could be the Manchester derby against United on October 2.
The Premier League have decided to postpone this weekend's round of fixtures following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Next weekend's games could also be in jeopardy although that is yet to be confirmed. Following that, it's the first international break of the campaign.
