    Haaland could be seen bopping to the music in the streets of Manchester as he let his flowing blonde locks go for the night’s entertainment.
    And he made team-mate Jack Grealish look silly when he poured Champagne over the England international in a hilarious moment.
    Fans waved flags and sang to the heavens as Man City made their way through town an open-top bus.
    Key men such as Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne and Grealish basked in the adoration as they made their way through the streets of Manchester.

    A second domestic trophy soon followed, with Guardiola’s men beating rivals Man Utd in the FA Cup final.
    And City solidified their position as one of the greatest sides in history by lifting their first Champions League with a 1-0 win over Inter Milan on Saturday.
    The club have been enjoying themselves ever since, with Grealish leading the way with a brilliant rap song from INSIDE City’s team bus.
    Stars then reportedly jetted to party island Ibiza for a major celebration after landing in Manchester on Sunday.
    But three players stayed home for a chilled-out dinner, with De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan and Stefan Ortega the only aces turning up to a hired-out restaurant.

    Meanwhile, the Ibiza party crew only landed back in Manchester on Monday afternoon, hours before the start of the parade.

    He said: “They are able to perform at a high level when they have that confidence.
    “It is tremendous to have that self belief.”
    He said he would never reveal his clients’ names unless they spoke about their ops first, but he is best known for former Spurs boss Antonio Conte’s transplant.

    And Dr Hasson — who has carried out 20,000 ops at his Hasson & Wong Hair Transplant Clinic in Vancouver — hailed Wayne Rooney for going public after his 2011 treatment.
    He added: “Rooney removed the stigma.
    “Even in Canada, people were talking about him.”

    While he has not disclosed his client list, former Tottenham and Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is his most famous.
    The Italian, 53, started to lose his hair in his twenties and after treatment in Italy, he turned to Hasson for a permanent solution.
    Conte revealed that he was happy with the results after he had gone to Vancouver to see Hasson.

    Hasson’s clinic does not come cheap though as the cost of restoring a hairline can be priced between £9,600 to £12,900.
    While rejuvenation of the top of the head and crown can cost between £20,000 to £24,000.
    Another football star that has recently wowed with the transition is Arsenal ace Rob Holding.
    The defender was going bald but returned to the limelight when people noticed his hair had returned thanks to the procedure.
    However, Holding, 27, instead visited the Wimpole Clinic in London and was helped by Dr Luciano Sciacca.
    The success of his treatment has seen him need to wear a hairband during matches to stop his hair from covering his eyes.
    Michael Panayiotis Kokotsis, the clinic’s marketing manager, admitted that the reaction to his results have been very positive.
    He said: “For Rob, the result was absolutely fantastic.

    “He has been great for our business because lots of young men are looking at him [losing his hair] and saying, ‘Wow, that’s me’.” Holding has been open about his surgery, which is, by its very nature, hard to miss.
    “On World Mental Health Day in October, Holding tweeted about how his new hair had benefited his mental health. Kokotsis says it struck a chord with many young men.
    “He [Holding] was very open about it.
    “Every time he plays, I see a spike in our analytics. On the day he scored that headed goal against West Ham [May 1 last year], it went through the roof.
    “People see him and he is a walking advertisement for what a fantastic hair transplant looks like.”
    Kokotsis claimed that former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney’s £30,000 procedure may have put normal people off of the idea, but claimed the average cost of hair transplants is £5,000 in Britain.

    Along with Rooney, Holding and Conte is Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp another famous face in football that is open about the results that he saw.
    While there are others in the sport that have not spoken about their process, despite results wanting to be noticed.

    And another labelled the England ace “the David Beckham of Wish”.
    But most observers were were more generous as a clip of Grealish having frosted tips added to his slicked back undercut was posted by a stylist. 
    Pep Guardiola’s men overturned Arsenal’s eight-point lead to win their third Premier League crown in a row with three games to spare.
    And in the first of those matches City rested their big names yet still beat Chelsea 1-0 amid an Etihad title party on Sunday.

    So fans were delighted to see Grealish, 27, relaxing during downtime.
    He was shown texting during his haircut – before whipping off a hairdresser’s cape covering his body to reveal he was wearing just shorts.
    But one viewer referenced Ronaldo’s notorious noodle style, which the 38-year-old has dabbled with over the past two decades.
    It’s a rare occasion when Grealish might not be flattered to win comparisons with the legendary five-time Ballon d’Or winner.

    And the day after team-mate Erling Haaland turned the air blue by dropping the F-bomb on Grealish during a live TV interview, the ex-Aston Villa skipper turned streaks of his hair light ala the Portugal striker.
    He didn’t go the full way, however, as one fan noted: “Thought he gonna transform into Ronaldo noodle hair.”
    Another poster wrote: “Champions haircut for my guy @jackgrealish fully deserved.”
    Similar compliments included: “He’s always got great hair” … “King” … and “very nice”.
    And one fan said: “With a matte product finish and without the hair band jacks hair looks so hot.”
    But another observer spotted Grealish was slouching over his phone.
    She wrote: “He really needs to show some respect, get off his phone and sit up straight.”
    But surely after such an incredible season – and with a club Treble still possible – Grealish should be cut some slack.

    While Gunners legend Martin Keown compared Haaland to kids’ cartoon character TARZAN.
    He said on BT Sport:  “He is the driving force, they had good players that need to be managed and information to take onboard.
    “Haaland took time to gel but now in other gears, today he was like Tarzan on the pitch, he let his hair down at the end, now he has settled in he has let his hair down a bit and is even better.”
    City closed Arsenal’s lead at the top to two points but crucially have two games in hand.
