HAALAND PITCHES UP New Man City striker Erling Haaland views Man Utd star Paul Pogba’s £3million mansion

MANCHESTER City’s star signing Erling Haaland eyed an early home win by viewing Man United ace Paul Pogba’s mansion — which has its own indoor football pitch.
The £51.4million hitman shares the same management team as French World Cup winner Pogba, who is quitting the Red Devils.

And one of the first properties the Norwegian, 21, has looked at since agreeing to join the Sky Blues is the £3million pile, which is also available to rent for a whopping £30,000-a-month.
The five-bedroom home in plush Hale Barns, Cheshire, boasts a gym, heated swimming pool and a sauna — but the jewel in the crown is the indoor pitch which flamboyant Pogba dubbed the P.P. Arena.
It has mini goals, an electronic scoreboard, LED lighting and even Pogba’s logo on the centre circle.
The controversial midfielder, 29, is leaving United for a second time after running down his contract.
And a source said: “Erling is keen to get settled down as quickly as possible so he can hit the ground running at City.

“So a key part of that is to get himself sorted with a new home as soon as he can.
"He and Paul know each other and share the same management team.
“Given how Paul’s time at United has gone, he’s unlikely to return to the UK so he will be looking to sell his house but he would be happy to rent it if necessary.
“It has everything a top level footballer needs — and a bit of mischief in the house as well with the footie pitch.
“Paul and Erling are quite similar characters. They like to enjoy themselves so it could really appeal to him.”
Mega-rich City have become known as their rivals’ “noisy neighbours” and the term could be given new meaning with United defenders Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly living close by.
The source added of prolific goalscorer Erling: “If he does move in, he could be giving United defenders nightmares when they go for a walk round the neighbourhood.”
Haaland’s management team and his dad Alfie, who also played for City during his career, viewed the property last week along with three other mansions.
He has been signed from top German club Borussia Dortmund.
