Warnock joined City boss Pep Guardiola for a training session at the club’s Etihad Campus at the start of this month, after which Haaland ensured he got a photograph with the ex-Whites manager.
Leeds-born Haaland then posted the photograph of the two together on his Snapchat story, accompanied with the words of “what a legend” about the hugely experienced 76-year-old former manager.
