Manchester City’s Striker Erling Haaland Under Police Investigation For Potential Driving Offence

Manchester City’s Number 9, Erling Haaland is now being probed by the police after appearing to use his mobile phone while driving which is a driving offence.

The 22-year-old Norwegian striker appeared to be using his mobile device while driving a £300,000 Rolls Royce. The incident occurred in New Islington, an area of Manchester which is close to the Etihad. He was pictured driving the same car later that day.

The Greater Manchester Police has now confirmed he’s being investigated. A spokesperson said, “I can confirm that GMP is aware of the image and is investigating.”
