ERLING HAALAND has revealed he has become a ‘real man’ after piling on the muscle.
The Borussia Dortmund superstar, 20, has enjoyed a sensational full debut season in the Bundesliga with 27 goals in 27 starts.
And the Norwegian warned he is only going to get better as his body continues to develop.
Reported by AS, Manchester City target Haaland said: “If you look at my body, if you look at my legs, you will see that I have changed a lot.
“I am completely different. I have become a real man.

“Besides everything, I have become faster.
“That is one of the most important things. I have gone from 86 kilos to 94 (1.25 stone), but it is not a beer belly, it is about gross muscle mass. I take great care of what I eat.”
The prospect of Haaland improving on the field will send shivers down the spines of top European clubs.
He has scored 57 goals in 59 appearances for Dortmund since making the switch from Red Bull Salzburg in January 2020.
It is no wonder his goalscoring exploits make him one of the hottest properties across Europe.
Manchester City, Man United and Chelsea are all ready to scrap it out for his signature either this summer or next.
Dortmund will hold out for £150m this year but his bargain £69m release clause will come into effect at the end of next season.
When quizzed on his future at Dortmund, he responded: “I have not taken a position on that.
“After this international break I will go on vacation, and then I will report for pre-season.”
Hopes of Haaland moving to the Premier League were dented with Dortmund securing a last-gasp spot in next season’s Champions League final.
He also helped the club lift the DFB-Pokal.
