ERLING HAALAND has topped a dream season with a signed shirt from his surprise hero – cult Swansea hero Michu.
Borussia Dortmund’s record-breaking teen responded to Michu posting a picture of the incoming gift with his own Instagram message: “Wow what a legend #Nice2Michu.”
Teen superstar Erling Haaland used to tag himself as fellow striker Michu
Spaniard Michu noted the support he got from Norwegian sensation Erling Haaland – and has now returned the favour
Ex-striker Michu acted after knowing Europe’s hottest young attacker Haaland has followed him since a kid – even naming himself as the once-capped Spaniard in some of his Instagram photos.
Now former Manchester United target Haaland will soon be getting his hands on a Michu top from Spanish third-tier side Burgos, where the 33-year-old is sporting director.
Michu sent these words: “Hello@ErlingHaaland.. your friend Michuovideo wants to send you a gift. ~AupaBurgos.”
SIX HAT-TRICKS ALREADY
Already, though, at the age of 19, the apprentice has overhauled the stature of the man he rated the master.
Norway ace Haaland has notched 12 goals in eight games for Dortmund – 40 in all when you add 14 with Molde and 17 in 16 matches for RB Salzburg.
That includes six hat-tricks and a deft double in last week’s 2-1 win over PSG that made him the fastest player to double figures in Champions League history.
No other teenager has reached that total in a single season, not even Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo or the latest goal sensation before Haaland – French World Cup winner Kylian Mbappe.
He was also Bundesliga player of the month in January, despite playing for under an hour.
But even though Haaland is really flying, he has never forgotten the Special Swan.
