Erling Haaland celebrates Leeds United's win over Manchester United

Those associated with Manchester City will have no doubt enjoyed Leeds United's seismic 2-1 victory over Manchester United in the Premier League, but none more so than Erling Haaland.

Noah Okafor's first half brace helped Leeds secure their first league victory at Old Trafford in 45 years and moved the Whites six points clear of the Premier League relegation zone with six matches to play.

Leeds are now 1/9 to preserve their Premier League status for another season and the huge triumph was celebrated by Man City star Haaland.

Posting on his Snapchat story, Haaland added the caption 'Get in' over an image of Okafor at the full-time whistle on his television.

Haaland has a close bond with Leeds United after his father Alf-Inge played for the club when he was born.

Growing up in the city, Haaland was a Leeds supporter growing up. Back in 2017 whilst playing for Molde, the striker even detailed his ambition of Premier League glory with the Elland Road outfit.

"I want to be the best. The dream is to win the Premier League with Leeds," he told Aftenposten.

"In addition, the goal is to be a better player than Dad was. I hope to get more international matches than he did."

Haaland won the acclaim of Leeds supporters after Man City's EFL Cup triumph over Arsenal at Wembley in March when he engaged with a Whites supporter who congratulated him on the win.

As Haaland made his way up the stairs to receive his medal, the Leeds fan was heard shouting "Leeds, Leeds, Leeds"a repeatedly before Haaland pointed back and replied "till we die".

The Norwegian, who refused to celebrate when he scored a brace against Leeds in December 2022, will no doubt be hoping for a potential FA Cup final showdown against his boyhood club.

Man City face Southampton in the semi-finals, while Leeds encounter Chelsea in the other clash at Wembley on the final weekend of April.
