Erling Haaland took to Instagram to laud exiled Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho.
The pair enjoyed a year linking up together at Borussia Dortmund before Sancho’s highly-anticipated move to Old Trafford. The following year, Haaland departed for cross-city rivals Manchester City.
Since then, the two attackers have endured significantly different paths at their respective clubs, so much so that the Englishman is now closing in on a return to the Signal Iduna Park in hopes of revitalising his career away from Erik ten Hag.
He’s expected to join the German outfit in the coming days and will look to aid them in their Champions League journey, as well as playing catch-up to the top-four in the Bundesliga.
Haaland’s praise for Sancho
Reminiscing on Dortmund’s DFB Pokal win in 2021, Haaland shared a throwback snap alongside Sancho, who was the top goalscorer of the competition that season, posing with the trophy.
The treble-winner captioned his Instagram story: “Proper baller that”.
