As a Man City fan Arpit Gupta, 37, from India has other loyalties and sees Haaland’s performances as a good harbinger for next season.
“After his performance in the last two weeks of the World Cup, I am totally excited to see him playing for Manchester City again.
“My loyalties are torn as Stones is in the England team, but in any case I think Spain will win the World Cup.”
Mancunian Lily Andrews said: “Haaland is amazing and really fast.
“When he gets the ball – you’ve got no chance getting it off him – I hope England win but I do want Haaland to score.
“I love City, but I would love England to win the World Cup.”
