Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is happy with the first weeks of Erling Haaland in preseason.
Haaland is set to start tonight's Community Shield clash with Liverpool.
"The first impression of him is really good, a funny guy," Guardiola said.
"He's settled really well with the team. That is important. Apparently people think it's not one of the most important things but it is.
"The good vibes in the locker room is more important than any advice.
"We try to help him settle well with the family, house and try to get to know each other in training. Then the quality will do the rest."
Manchester City play Liverpool in Saturday's Community Shield and the Spanish boss has no concerns in unleashing his new forward on his rivals.
"He is ready to play. He feels good," the 51-year-old said.
"When I spoke with him over the last couple of days, he feels a few little niggles but he can train and move.
"At the end of August, he will be better than now. Now we have one game a week, with more training.
"[Haaland and Julian Alvarez] have the special sense, smell, quality to score a goal.
"If we play good football, create a lot of chances, put the ball close to the box...
“If we do that, we know Erling and Julian have this incredible talent to score goals. But they will not do it alone. We have to help them."
