Manchester City signing Erling Haaland admits he draws inspiration from Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic, 40, has just helped AC Milan win the Scudetto in Italy.

On his final season with Borussia Dortmund, Haaland said: "It has not been a disaster, but not optimal.

"I usually play 40-50 matches a year and I have not done that now, so it is important to work to get up to level."

The Norwegian is impressed how Zlatan still maintains such a high level and that he refuses to give up - despite a knee injury.

"That says a bit about him, he's crazy. It is fantastic that he as an older person can keep up at this level, it is completely insane," added Haaland.
