Erling Haaland puts a brave face on Man City's horror season as he enjoys his downtime before jetting out for the Club World Cup in brutal summer
Erling Haaland appears to be making the most of his brief time off this summer after enduring a nightmare campaign with Manchester City. The no-nonsense striker brutally admitted he and his team-mates were not 'good enough' as they went trophyless for the first time in eight years and surrendered the Premier League title to rivals Liverpool, finishing in third. City also endured disappointment in the Champions League, having crashed out in the last-16 to Real Madrid, leading Pep Guardiola to return to the drawing board. Already in the middle of refreshing his squad, Guardiola will shortly take his players to the United States for the new-look Club World Cup, which begins on June 15. They won 2-0 at Fulham on the last day of the season to secure a spot at the top table in Europe but will return to action just 24 days later. Enjoying a breather before hopping on board City's flight out, Haaland took to social media to share a photo of himself holding two large lobsters. The simple caption read: 'Lobzter'. Haaland is now back fit and firing after recovering from an ankle injury sustained in the 2-1 victory over Bournemouth in March, but he was powerless to prevent City from losing the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace at Wembley. He was on target at Craven Cottage, however, and will hope to find the back of the net again as City target another Club World Cup triumph, having won it back in 2023. In the new-look edition, City will play Moroccan side Wydad AC on 18 June, Al Ain from the United Arab Emirates on 23 June and finally Juventus three days later. The top two teams from each of the eight groups will qualify for the knockout stages while the sides that reach the final on 13 July will have played seven games. Exactly a month later, the new Premier League season will get underway. Despite the gruelling schedule awaiting City's players, club chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has insisted the squad will be 'hungry' for silverware in the United States. Al Mubarak said: 'They want to come back, and they want to come back hungry. I can see the hunger and these players, they want to come back to pre-season. City could play as many as seven games at the Club World Cup in a breathless summer 'Normally these players are off and they're starting to think about vacation time etc. Honestly, every player I spoke to was telling me, we're coming back. 'We're ready to come back in three weeks' time. I was speaking to Rodri as an example, he's looking for games. Erling didn't want to go on vacation. 'He wanted to stay with the physios and prepare for next season. That's the attitude you want and that's exactly why you see me so positive. 'We're going to come back strong, with a lot of positivity.'

My Premier League alternative awards
The season is over, the trophy is hoisted, the medals have been handed out, the relegated teams have been sent their eviction notices. But what about the many aspects of the football season which are not covered by the traditional honours system in football? It is time for the 2024/25 Premier League alternative awards. The milk award for quote which aged badly 'Stay humble' Erling Haaland talks down to Mikel Arteta after Manchester City's draw with Arsenal in September. City promptly begin a historic re-enactment of their Stuart Pearce / Brian Horton / Frank Clark years, Arsenal cruise off into the sunset. Admittedly they are joined, then overtaken by Liverpool. But scientists studying City's megablip in centuries to come will link it directly to Haaland's hubris. The 1947 Cheval Blanc award for quote which aged extremely well 'I don't usually win things, I always win things in my second year. Nothing's changed. I've said it now. I don't say things unless I believe them.' Ange Postecoglou after a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal in September. It seemed slightly optimistic at the time, then borderline delusional during the many lows which followed. Vindication last week in Bilbao, although let's check back this time next year about his words from the victory parade: 'All the best TV series, season three is better than season two.' The Martin Lewis award for belt-tightening Sir Jim Ratcliffe The Gary Neville award for football manager who is better at going on Monday Night Football than managing football teams Bronze Gary O'Neil. Tactics community still applauding after he patiently explained how his Wolves beat Bournemouth in 2023, a moment he deserved to savour after being cast aside by Bournemouth. Some sympathy again for his sacking, this time by Wolves, last December. Although Wolves' performances under Vitor Pereira suggest O'Neil's message had lost its potency power. That and all the on-pitch arguments with players. Silver Ruud van Nistelrooy. Admittedly hasn't actually appeared yet but must be odds-on to do so before December, by which point enough time has passed for everyone to forget his Leicester horror show. Expect serious calls for 'someone' to 'give him another chance'. But we must never forget. Perhaps this video after one of his few wins will lodge it in our minds? Ruud Van Nistelrooy made Steve Cooper hold 8 goals in the two games (vs Leicester) to replace him and make Lopetegui hold 3 in his first game. The perfect inside job😂 — (fan) PHÎ.ŁÎP (@utdphiIip) December 3, 2024 Gold Russell Martin. Clearly a charismatic and talented fellow. Tremendously engaging to listen to. Bright, personable, admirable. Also one of the men most responsible for this season's Southampton side. The Esteban Cambiasso award for gifted genius just passing through English football Dean Huijsen, who arrived at Bournemouth from Juventus for around £12 million last summer, played wonderfully and has now secured a move to Real Madrid for £50 million. Twenty years from now, this season is going to look very odd on his Wikipedia career summary. Did it even really happen? The Birmingham library award for biggest aesthetic disgrace Bronze Artist's impressions of Manchester United's new stadium. Lovely circus tent you have there, Sir Jim. Silver Harry Kane's bronze statue. Plonked down in Walthamstow in November after finally being taken out of storage. Can it go back in? Gold Arsenal's tifo. The flag which lost a Champions League semi-final. The David Bowie Blackstar award for best-managed exit Jamie Vardy. Ended his Leicester career with a goal in his last match and a record of 500 appearances, 200 goals. So statistically satisfying he bunked off the final weekend. The Seinfeld award for worst-managed exit Award shared: Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool, Gary Lineker from Match of the Day and David Coote from PGMOL. The happy slap award for brief social media phenomenon that is already quite difficult to remember #barclaysmen The pub quiz MVP award for piece of trivia which should be committed to memory immediately Who scored three penalties in the same game? Justin Kluivert for Bournemouth against Wolves in November. Please think of Telegraph Sport when you claim your free bottle of Prosecco. The Oasis* award for most underwhelming return Bronze Ilkay Gundogan. Never go back. Especially not when your legs have gone and your old team is having a mental breakdown. Silver Graham Potter. Had left it long enough for everyone to forget his Chelsea experience when he arrived at West Ham. Is averaging fewer points per game than Julen Lopetegui. Gold Jadon Sancho. Seemingly revitalised, slightly, by loan move to Borussia Dortmund last season. Has contributed three goals and four assists from 31 Chelsea games. Those are old-school full-back numbers, not the impact you need from a one-time generational talent.
