Erling Haaland sported a new pigtails hairdo as he took part in Manchester City training earlier today.

But some fans cruelly took to social media to poke fun at the striker’s barnet.

Haaland, 22, changed up his haircut ahead of tomorrow night’s Champions League clash with his former Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich.

The ex-Borussia Dortmund star appeared to be in good spirits as he took part in training ahead of the massive quarter-final first leg.

After seeing Haaland’s hair, one fan responded with a snap of climate change activist Greta Thunberg wearing similar pigtails.

While another jibed: “Bro rocking that 9 yo girl default cut 🔥🔥🔥”

Although a third claimed: “Am i the only one who thinks he rocks this 9 year old girl haircut? Looks dope on him bruh.”

But a fourth joked: “Greta got really tall didn’t she?”

The forward wore pigtails in Man City training back in December.

And remembering his previous dalliance with the haircut, an excited fan wrote: “Viking is back.”

Another referenced his caption last time he posted the hairdo, saying: “Viking mode fully activated.”

Haaland returned from injury in fine fashion on Saturday, scoring twice in City’s 4-1 win at Southampton.

He had previously missed his team’s 4-1 win over Liverpool with a groin injury.
