The bromance between Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish is for real as Manchester City captured the brilliant moment they were reunited following their summer breaks.
Haaland scored a staggering 52 goals in all competitions last season as he enjoyed an ultra-prolific campaign in his debut season at the Etihad.
As for Grealish, he came into his own following a year of settling in as he starred for the Blues during their incredible treble-winning term.

They developed a budding on-field relationship, which has carried over off the pitch with the players enjoying a blossoming bromance.
And it appears they cannot wait to resume their bromance. That's judging by the video Man City uploaded as players reported for pre-season training.
"There he is," Haaland said when he saw Grealish, who replied: "Alright. How are you, my friend?"
The England international then complimented his teammate's new hairstyle: "Tell you what, I'm loving the barnet, you know."

Haaland and Grealish lead somewhat different lifestyles, with the 27-year-old talking up his friendship with the Norwegian phenom in a refreshing insight.
"We have a great friendship but he will point at me after a game and say: 'Hey. Don't you go out tonight partying'. I just tell him to shut up and go and sit in his ice bath. But that's us. Two different people doing well in our own way," he explained.
"I am not as successful as him. He has scored more goals this season than I have in my whole career. But if he did what I occasionally did he would be like: 'F**king hell I feel terrible today'.
"I have a release that's different to this. He is going home and sitting with his family and having a take away. Sometimes that is my choice too. I love doing that. But sometimes I like to go out and let my hair down."

The ex-Aston Villa captain added: "I am not gonna sit here and lie and say I don't go out. What's the point? It's also pointless telling you I am here at 8am going in the gym and that's the reason I am playing well. It's not.
"The reason I am playing well is because I feel fit, confident, good in myself and like I am at home here. But I still love an occasional drink and going out with my friends. That's just normal."
