After Erling Haaland’s return to training with Manchester City, his supporters have referred to him as a “Barbie,” and the nickname has stuck.

The Norwegian striker showed up at the training ground wearing a bright jumper and her hair done up in pigtail braids.

Haaland, who is 23 years old, provided a clue as to what may be contributing to his success as a lethal striker in the Premier League.

When the former Borussia Dortmund player was photographed by the Manchester City media crew, he was seen to be carrying a bottle of raw milk with him at the time.

In the comments area, there was a diverse group of fans; while some of them were discussing his appearance, others couldn’t help but point out the raw milk.

One user noted, “This is the only episode of Barbie that I’ll watch.”

A second person said, “I think his girlfriend really makes him do all of his hairstyles.”

A third responded with the word “Barbie.”

While a fourth made light of the situation by joking that “Raw Milk gives Him the RAW POWER that he has.”

And still another person said, “Raw Milk.”

During the previous season, Haaland made history in the Premier League with his rookie campaign in which he scored freely.

He scored an incredible 36 goals in 35 games, breaking both the Premier League record for most goals scored in a 38-game season as well as the record for most goals scored in a 42-game season. He did this by breaking both records simultaneously.

Andy Cole (1993/94) and Alan Shearer (1994/95), who both scored 34 goals throughout the course of the extended season, shared the previous record for most goals scored in a single season.

Haaland was also tremendously successful in Europe, when he helped Manchester City win an unprecedented treble by scoring 12 goals in the Champions League.

This summer, Haaland has been enjoying his time off, and it came to light that he will be featured on the cover of EAFC 24, so he has a lot to celebrate.

It is also said that he has signed a deal with the fashion designers Dolce and Gabbana worth two million dollars.

During his time at a D&G event, he was seen in the company of Kim Kardashian, who is also a brand ambassador for the company.
