Erling Haaland debuted a new haircut for Manchester City's Premier League opener, cutting his iconic long blond locks.

Haaland showed off his close-cropped look on social media Sunday, commenting, "New season, new trim."

He posted another image on X showing the stages of his haircut, captioned, "Short hair don't care."

Hours later, Haaland walked onto the Etihad Stadium pitch to warm up ahead of City's first league game against Bournemouth.

During a July interview with James Corden on Fox Sports, Haaland revealed he maintained his previous style on the advice of retired Swedish star Zlatan Ibrahimovic, another prolific long-haired Scandinavian striker.

Haaland told Corden, "Zlatan – you know what he told me? 'Never cut your hair because the strength is in the hair.'"

City fans hope Haaland remains as prolific as ever despite shedding his famous haircut.
