Haaland Rocks New Buzzcut Ahead of the New Season, Leaves Fans in Awe

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has bid farewell to his iconic blonde locks, opting for a buzzcut ahead of the new Premier League season. Haaland revealed his new look on social media, captioning a post: "New season, new trim."

A Trip Down Memory Lane

Before taking the plunge, Haaland took to social media to share some of his previous hairstyles throughout his career. He also posted some humorous images of potential new looks, showcasing his lighthearted side. The 26-year-old then visited a hairdresser, looking nervous as the first snips were made. However, it didn't take long for Haaland to break into a smile as he admired his new appearance.

Mixed Reactions from Friends and Colleagues

Haaland made video calls to several friends and colleagues to gauge their reactions to his new look. Manchester City teammate Jack Grealish and former City manager Pep Guardiola both expressed their love for the change. "You look about 10 years old. That is hilarious. I love it," Grealish said. Guardiola added: "No way. You're lucky you have hair. I would love to have it. I love it." Oasis' Noel Gallagher also chimed in, saying: "You look about 17 years old. It's good. Change is good."

Ibrahimovic Not Impressed

However, not everyone was pleased with Haaland's decision to cut his hair. Former Sweden international Zlatan Ibrahimovic, known for his own iconic hairstyles, was not impressed. Haaland joked that Ibrahimovic had previously advised him never to cut his long hair, saying: "Zlatan told me, never cut your hair, because your strength is in your hair." Ibrahimovic's reaction was stern, saying: "What did you do? You lost a bet or what? Block me and erase my number."

Haaland's new look is a significant departure from his previous style, which he had maintained since his days at Borussia Dortmund. The Norwegian striker will be hoping his fresh cut brings him good luck as he prepares to face Bournemouth at 14:00 BST on Sunday. With the new Premier League season just around the corner, all eyes will be on Haaland to see if he can replicate his impressive form from last season.
