Fans accuse Kevin De Bruyne of copying Erling Haaland's hairstyle

Kevin De Bruyne returned to training with Manchester City on Tuesday disguised as Erling Haaland, kind of.

The Belgian playmaker - who had been granted extra time off after his involvement at Euro 2024 this summer - arrived at City's Etihad Campus sporting a new hairstyle.

City documented De Bruyne's return by posting a video of him walking from the car park to the main building.

In the video, a voice from out of shot is heard shouting 'oooooo top knot' at De Bruyne, who responds by saying: 'I need to cut my hair'.

De Bruyne's new look generated a lot of comments on social media, where fans could not help but notice the similarities with Haaland's famous hairstyle.

One comment on Instagram read: 'Erling Bruyne'. Another fan wrote: 'Haaland effect is really effective'.

A different fan tweeted: 'Handsome version of Halaand'.

This is not the first time that De Bruyne has seemingly copied one of his team-mate's hairstyles.

Midway through the 2023-24 season, the former Chelsea ace was said to be rocking the Jack Grealish look upon his return from an injury absence.

Despite not playing a single minute of City's pre-season, De Bruyne could be in contention to feature against Manchester United in the Community Shield on Saturday.

Saturday's game will be a repeat of last season's FA Cup final, which United won 2-1.

City will then begin the defence of their Premier League title with a trip to Chelsea eight days later.
