Manchester City fans couldn’t help but get excited about a FIFA 21 match between midfielder Phil Foden and Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Haaland, giving their young midfielder a new nickname in the process.
Foden, 20, was participating in a promotional video for the launch of the latest game in the FIFA series, where he faced Haaland under the watchful eye of former England striker Gary Lineker.
City have become associated with prolific forward Haaland in recent weeks, potentially as a replacement for Sergio Agüero. While any move would have plenty of competition from clubs across Europe, Haaland has a personal connection to City after his father represented the club when the forward was born.
Images of Haaland Jr in a City uniform have been circulating on social media for some time, and now his latest game with Foden will inevitably raise more hopes for a future transfer among City fans.

Naturally, it didn’t take long for fans on Twitter to respond to Haaland’s tweet promoting the video, giving Foden a predictable new nickname: ‘Agent Phil.’
The pair seemed to get along well, joking about his FIFA ratings, Erling’s missing accent in Yorkshire and their previous meeting at the European U21 championship last summer.
“I remember yes, Jadon and I have been talking a bit about it,” Haaland said, before Foden pointed out that England won the match.
And when it comes to the FIFA match, both players chose their club team, and Haaland commented: “It’s Dortmund so we tried to go out there and attack the game, but we have great respect for Manchester City and Phil Foden. We’ll see how it goes, but for me Phil Foden is the favorite. “
However, it was Haaland who prevailed, winning 2-0 when Foden pointed out the difficulties with his controller.
