Despite scoring 10 minutes into his Manchester City debut, Erling Haaland's first appearance in sky blue was cut short due to extreme weather.

Erling Haaland made a superb start to life at Manchester City by scoring after just 10 minutes on his debut. But just as it looked like he was ready to kick on and score again, the weather had other ideas.

A nearby thunderstorm halted play, and the two sides were only able to complete 40 minute halves.

Manchester United are desperate to sign Frenkie de Jong this summer, and it now seems Barcelona are equally desperate to ship him off. Xavi has even gone as far as playing him in centre-back this pre-season. It's hard not to feel bad for him at this point.
