admin Erling Haaland should again lead the line when Manchester City continue their preparations for the 2024-25 campaign with a pre-season friendly against Barcelona on Tuesday night.
The striker has had a rest this summer due to Norway not being present at Euro 2024, so he was able to link up with the Man City squad for the start of pre-season.
Haaland has scored in Man City’s losses to Celtic and AC Milan this summer, and he will be aiming to continue his strong form against Hansi Flick’s Barcelona in this contest.
