We Only Need a Selected Few
November 14, 2026 sportnow ERLING HAALAND has finally spoken out regarding Manchester City’s charges during an extensive interview.
The star striker was in the midst of celebrating Norway’s 3-1 Nations League victory over Wales when questions arose about the ongoing issues surrounding Man City.
At 26, Haaland contributed to his team’s impressive performance against Craig Bellamy’s squad.
Nevertheless, the guilty verdict on Manchester City’s “more than 100” breaches of Premier League regulations loomed over him while on international duty.
When asked about the “situation” at the club, Haaland responded: “The investigation took place from 2009 to 2018.

“In 2009, I played for Bryne U9s. In 2010, it was the U10s. In 2011, U11s.
“Then in 2012, U12s, 2012, U13s. Should I keep going?”
The reporter remarked, “We don’t need the entire list.”
Nevertheless, Haaland continued, “2014, U14s. 2015, U15s, and into the national team.

“Followed by U16s, and in 2016, I joined Bryne’s first team, second team, and youth team.
“In 2017, I transferred to Molde. In 2018, I was still with Molde, playing with the first team, Molde 2, and a little with the youth squad.
“Thus, this question is challenging to answer because it involves a legal dispute…
“It’s a matter between the Premier League and Manchester City that a panel is overseeing.
“Am I expected to respond to that? I’m not entirely sure.
“There were several Norwegians at the club during that timeframe, as I recall.
“Abdisalam Ibrahim, Martin Samuelsen, and Omar Elabdellaoui were present.
“Kjetil Haug was also part of it. I believe there were a few more, but I can’t recall their names.
“However, it’s a tough question to tackle since I am not well-versed in the details.
“I anticipate that answers will eventually emerge… when, I do not know. I haven’t followed it closely.
“To be perfectly frank, I am concentrating on performing for Manchester City.
“A club where I entered into a five-year contract in 2022 and then a new nine-and-a-half-year deal in late 2024.
“I believe this clearly reflects my stance on the situation. I’m a City player and absolutely thrilled there.”
When asked if the current “situation” impacts his view on his future with the club, he said: “I understand that you’re looking for a headline, but as I mentioned, I signed a long-term contract in 2024.
“I’d argue my decision to join City in 2022 was a solid one. I think we can all agree on that.
THE Premier League alleges that Man City concealed £900m in ‘fake’ deals over a nine-year timeframe.
They were found guilty of 114 out of the original 115 charges – with the total now rising to 130 charges, falling under six categories:
“I won’t assert it myself, but just look at the trophies I’ve secured and how I’ve progressed both on and off the field.
“Here I stand following an international 3-1 victory, and we’re leading our group in Europe.
“Things aren’t ideal for City in the league right now, but we aim to rectify that against Fulham.
“However, we cannot dwell on that at this moment. Our focus must shift to Denmark.”
The Premier League’s case against Manchester City is expected to conclude by the end of the season.
City is believed to have contended that the appeal process’s schedule should have aligned with the regulations in place when they were charged in February 2023.
Although those regulations state any appeal hearing should occur “as soon as practicable,” they do not provide explicit guidelines.
Yet, league officials appear to have successfully argued that the most recent iteration of the rulebook, endorsed by clubs in June, should be relevant.
This new version includes stricter regulations and a defined timeline, with the hearing—conducted in private—set for next month.
