Haaland: I think exciting times are coming for Man City

Erling Haaland believes "exciting times" are ahead for Manchester City in the coming years as their newer players adjust to the club.

The 25-year-old, who joined City in 2022, is enjoying another stellar season as he leads the Premier League in goals (24) and direct goal contributions (31) this term.

City have already won the EFL Cup in 2025-26, while they are three points behind Arsenal in the league with a game in hand, and will face Chelsea in the FA Cup final next month.

Haaland is contracted with City until June 2034, though Pep Guardiola's squad has undergone some big changes.

Over the last few seasons, the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan and Kyle Walker have already left, while Bernardo Silva will leave at the end of his contract this summer, with John Stones rumoured to join the midfielder on his way out.

City have added younger players to their squad, such as Marc Guehi, Nico Gonzalez and Rayan Cherki, and Haaland believes the new players are just getting started.

"It's been a lot of change now the last couple of years, I would say in the last year," Haaland told ESPN.

"There's been lots of players that have been here for a long time. So with new players, it takes time. It's not easy to come into a new league for someone, new country, all of this. It takes time to adapt.

"I think exciting times [are coming] and I'm looking forward to being a part of it.

"I'm super happy and I'm looking forward to what's next because I think it's exciting times for City as a club and also me as a player.

"I'm looking forward to continuing with City."

City face Everton and Brentford in their next two league games as they battle Arsenal for the title, while their FA Cup final will take place on May 16.
