During his mid-season holiday in Marbella, ERLING HAALAND was accompanied by an unknown woman.

The attractive brunette and the Manchester City striker were seen strolling, conversing, and grabbing a bite to eat.

When the two stopped for refreshments in the Spanish sunlight, a chihuahua joined them as well.

Manager Pep Guardiola gave Haaland some time off when the World Cup was being played in Qatar. Haaland rarely speaks about his personal life.

As they only placed third in their group, behind the Netherlands and Turkey, the Norwegian and his national team did not do well enough to advance to the championship.

Only five goals were scored by Haaland for Norway during the qualifying rounds, which is seven fewer than Memphis Depay, Group G’s leading scorer.

This includes a hat-trick against Gibraltar, a relative amateur.The 22-year-old has been in outstanding form since joining Manchester City this season, despite the setback on the international scene. In just 13 games in the Premier League, he has already scored 18 goals. Haaland has scored five goals in four Champions League games to carry up this scorching club form in Europe.The striker appears to be enjoying his break from Premier League activity and doesn’t appear likely to accept Ashton United’s offer of a short-term loan.In order for Haaland to stay in shape and be prepared when City returns to action on December 22 against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup, the club sought to sign him while the World Cup was in progress.
