Erling Haaland made his debut for Manchester City against Bayern Munich on the tour of the United States and provided the only goal that made a difference between the two sides.

A friendly marred by weather delays just minutes after Jack Grealish had provided the assist to give Haaland his first goal for the Cityzens, there are high hopes for a yet another memorable season ahead for the Cityzens.

One of Manchester City’s problems, especially since the department of Sergio Agüero, has been the availability of regular goal scorers, which has forced Pep Guardiola to look into the market for new solutions.

Haaland has brought promises of consistency and competition to Man City’s front line along with Julian Álvarez.

Towards the end of the second half against Bayern, Argentine forward Julian Álvarez was brought in place of Haaland, who had already made an impact in the first half after missing out on the club’s first outing in the United States with Club America.

Liverpool FC vs Manchester City Community Shield: will Haaland play?

Haaland is expected to feature in Manchester City’s starting lineup even as Pep Guardiola could continue with the 4-3-3 formation that worked perfectly against Bayern Munich.

The 4-3-3 formation utilised by Pep Guardiola meant Jack Grealish and Riyad Mahrez would play at left, and right wings and Haaland would be in central forward. The Norwegian was confident moving forward, which could be City’s strength.

Against Bayern Munich, Haaland showed he has the pace and could be the danger man up front. Ahead of the FA Community Shield clash with Liverpool, Haaland is injury free and could included in the squad that will face the Reds.
