Erling Haaland has said he didn't touch the ball for 25 minutes when playing against Manchester City last season.

The Norwegian joined City from Borussia Dortmund this summer.

"It is a big challenge, it is a new country, a new league, new coach, new everything so it is a big challenge but I know how it is to come to a new club, I have done it a couple of times before. I am really looking forward to it," the Norwegian told reporters at a press conference.

"I played against them in the Champions League last year and you see something on TV and then when you meet it is completely different.

"I didn't touch the ball for 25 minutes and it is like, [Ilkay] Gundogan, please stop playing tiki-taka!

"It is a different level how they play and that is what I want to be a part of.

"What am I looking to improve? Everything, headers, shooting, left foot, right foot, movement, with the ball, off the ball."
