FANS have joked that Erling Haaland will never get over the “robot claims” after “violently pursuing” a seven-hour flight.
The Norwegian striker was back in England with Manchester City following the club’s pre-season tour of the United States.
Haaland, 24, looked sharp as the Citizens prepared for the new Premier League season.
In his last game, he scored three goals against Chelsea in a 4-2 victory at the Ohio Stadium.
However, he was still anxious on the flight home as he shared a funny clip on Instagram.
The video shows him sitting next to goalkeeper Stefan Ortega, watching the flight map.
Haaland doesn’t blink or move during the video as he “chases” the flight.
The term “raw dogging” on a flight is a bizarre online trend of people just watching the flight map and not sleeping or doing anything else while in the air.
He captioned the clip: “Just chased a seven hour flight.
“No phone, no sleep, no water, no food, just a map. #Easy.”

Inside Keane and Haaland’s rivalry

Roy Keane’s feud with the Haaland family apparently began in 2001 when Keane struck Alfe Inge Haaland, Erling’s father, with a fit of terror.
After a barren spell for Haaland at the start of this season, Keane said: “The levels of his overall play are very poor. He has to improve this. He’s almost like a League Two player.”
Keane promoted him to “Championship” player after Haaland scored against Nottingham Forest.
After scoring four goals against Wolves, Haaland said: “I don’t care about that man.”
But Keane highlighted Haaland’s behavior when he was replaced, saying he behaved “like a spoiled brat”.
Sky Sports presenter Dave Jones captured the wrath of Keane’s death stare when he dared to question that label, considering his quartet of goals.
A second commented: “Mental monster.”
A third wrote: “Lmaooo this guy is hilarious.”
A fourth joked: “The guy is defective. Defo needs a system update.”
A fifth said: “This is a real athlete.”
Another added: “This guy is crazy.”
Man City began their competitive season in the Community Shield clash against rivals Manchester United on 10 August.
They will want revenge on the Red Devils for their FA Cup final defeat last season.
The club will then begin the defense of their Premier League title against Chelsea on August 18.
