Erling Haaland is widely appreciated for his casual social media presence. He does not maintain a separate team for media engagement and has his own funny way of posting content on all his accounts.
By being himself, unbothered about the PR activities and image building, Haaland has gained the fans’ support and acknowledgement of his humorous approach.
There have been multiple instances where Haaland puts sarcastic and funny images about his teammates and himself, especially in Snapchat, which has gained him enormous increase in followers list.
Another time, he had a touching reply for a fan’s question on Christmas that won everybody’s heart in Snapchat.
This time, the topic of concern was the weight check protocol, personally advocated and monitored by his boss a.k.a manager, Pep Guardiola.
The Spanish mastermind had strictly said that there will be a weight check after Christmas and players weighing more would not be finding a spot in their game against Nottingham forest.
“Every player makes a weight. They come back on the 25th and I will be there controlling how many kilos come up, [to see if] they come fatty. The moment they arrive after three days I want to see how they come back. They can eat but I want to control them. I have to make a selection for [December] 27 against Nottingham Forest. Imagine one player and now he’s perfect but he will arrive with three kilos more. He will [stay] in Manchester. He will not travel to Nottingham Forest.“
Erling Haaland jokingly shared a pic of his weight, with a caption “All good” indicating that he would not be scrutinised or dropped under Pep’s conditions.
He uploaded a pic where his toe nails are visible and his weight reads “94.4 KG”. The largest toe nail in both his feet seemed to have been hurt, reflecting what it takes to play at the top level.
Fans have really loved it and are demanding such character from a lot of other players as well. To be active, transparent and original on social media.

Funniest footballer there is ☠️
@AnfieldAura
Erling is such a likeable guy. It’s honestly a testament to him that he’s such a good footballer and is still so humble and down to earth. His Christmas video on YouTube was a joy to watch too.

Players with online presence>>>
Haaland’s online antics are most welcomed by every set of fans but the only guarantee they might demand from him would be to not continue the same on the field against their team.
