And he helped City win a historic Treble during his debut season last year.

As a result, most people would rush to pick Haaland in their own five-a-side team.

But the humble hitman opted to leave himself out as he chose some legendary names.

Haaland decided to go for a very attacking side, choosing three forwards, one defender and one goalkeeper.

Real Madrid icon Iker Casillas was chosen between the sticks.

And Haaland chose Italian hero Paolo Maldini to help out at the back.

Further up the pitch, he selected the king of flair in Ronaldinho.

Arguably the greatest player in history, Lionel Messi was also given the nod as a playmaker.

And Haaland completed his incredible strike force by handing the No9 role to record international goal scorer Cristiano Ronaldo.

But the Norwegian admits he was eager to sneak Man City teammate Ederson into the side as well.

Haaland told Goal: “I would like to see Ronaldinho, Messi, Cristiano.

“Maldini to be back there just to (defend). Then I need a keeper, no?

“I would love Ederson because in these five-a-side games, if he is able to shoot he would score 15 goals.

“A keeper, I would take Casillas.”

Fans were certainly impressed by Haaland’s selection.

One said: “Nah Erling actually knows ball.”

Another declared: “That’s why he will dominate the Prem for another 10 years.”

One noted: “Haaland cooked here.”

Another added: “Nah, that’s a W team.”
