Gary Neville has interviewed Manchester City striker Erling Haaland ahead of the Manchester derby.
The former Manchester United captain told Haaland that he hopes he will not see him in Sunday’s derby as the pair filmed a promotion for the big game on Sky Sports.
Neville starts the video by promoting the match this weekend, saying: “Manchester derby on Sky Sports we are on air at 1pm.”
Haaland is instructed to follow up with the kick-off time: “2pm kick-off, be there.”
This is when Neville cuts in with a cheeky four-word reply: “I hope you’re not.”

There is plenty on the line for both sides with City looking to push Arsenal for the top spot in the Premier League while the Red Devils are looking to make it five league wins on the bounce.
Haaland has 11 goals in his first seven games in the Premier League and United will have to work hard to stop City’s midfield from providing service to the Norwegian goalscorer.
Let us know in the comments section how you think Erik ten Hag’s first Manchester derby will go?
