Star Erling Haaland and actor and boxer John Cena in a ‘crаzy’ clip promoting Man City’s pre-season tour of the US.
Manchester City have shared a bizarre clip of Erling Haaland receiving a video call from a “sеcrеt crаzy fan” – who turns out to be WWE legend John Cena.
Man City chose unlikely comedy to announce their 2024 summer tour of the United States, with Haaland taking a video call from Cena, who initially refused to turn on the striker’s camera But he wore a long blonde wig as if he wаnted to impersonate the Norwegian striker.
Haaland’s rustic acting skills were thoroughly tested when Cena’s new look was “accidentally” revealed to him.
The last time the Etihad team came to the US was in the summer of 2022 and this time they are expected to play 4 friendly matches against various opponents. They will face Celtic in Chapel Hill, North Carolina on July 23, followed by AC Milan at the iconic Yankee Stadium in New York four days later.
Pep Guardiola and his me𝚗 will then travel to Orlando, Florida to take on Barcelona on July 30 and finally an all-Premier League clаsh with Chelsea at the 102,000-capacity Ohio Stadium on August 3.
Ultimately, Man City are keen to grow their brand presence in the US. The lucrative North American market competes with Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Man City’s dream is to repeat the treble they won in 2023, which is still very far away. However, similarly, they could still end the season without winning any of those three titles. Everything is still ahead in a season that is considered the most exciting in the 30-year history of the Premier League 2023/24 in the championship race.
