Leeds and Haaland
Haaland has never hidden his fondness for Leeds and his celebration of their win at the home of Manchester Cityâs fiercest rivals will only add to his legendary status among the City faithful, who have long revelled in his barely-concealed disdain for the red half of Manchester.
The result at Old Trafford means Manchester Unitedâs own top four aspirations have taken a significant hit, with Leeds producing one of the results of the season by beating their fiercest rivals on their own patch on Monday night.
The post-match atmosphere in the away end at Old Trafford will have made for compelling viewing, and one man watching from the comfort of his living room was clearly very much enjoying the spectacle.
Haalandâs recent form for Man City
Haaland has been in fine form of late and has been central to Manchester Cityâs recent run of wins over Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea in the last three weeks.
The Norwegian scored a hat-trick in Cityâs 4-0 FA Cup quarter-final demolition of Liverpool last weekend and will be raring to go for what promises to be an electric occasion at the Etihad Stadium when Arsenal arrive in east Manchester next Sunday.
Haalandâs social media activity will come as further ammunition for those who enjoy the lighter side of footballâs great rivalries.

The 25-year-oldâs relationship with the Manchester City fanbase has been built not only on an extraordinary goal-scoring record â including 12th hat-trick for the club against Liverpool â but also on moments like this, where his personality shines through and reminds supporters that the player pulling on the sky blue shirt every week genuinely feels the same things they do.
For Haaland, Monday eveningâs result appears to have provided all the entertainment he needed from the comfort of his sofa. Whether he was watching alone or with teammates, one thing is certain -âGet inâ just about sums it up.
