MANCHESTER City’s new £70million signing Erling Haaland stunned fans by doing a “student” shop — stocking up on tomato ketchup and toilet roll.
The Norwegian striker, 21 — who is on around £375,000 a week — was seen smiling as he loaded his trolley in Sainsbury’s next to a sign boasting of “great offers”.

Rumoured to be eyeing former Man United star Paul Pogba’s £3million mansion, he snapped up two bins at £7 each and a set of four wine glasses for £9.50
Erling, wearing a cap and track suit, was pictured at the store in Salford with his father Alfie, 49, who also played for Man City.
One fan joked: “It’s like he’s moving into uni accommodation.
“Man’s probs a millionaire and he’s getting bins from Sainsbury’s, fair play.”
Other items in the Leeds-born star’s trolley included a £7.50 coffee maker, a four-bowl set for £15, a £5 pack of toilet roll and a 50p jar of English mustard.
There was also a box of eggs, and a kettle, though some thought his mega-sized £3.50 tomato sauce purchase may not impress his new manager.
One tweeted: “A massive ketchup bottle, Pep Guardiola can’t be happy with that.”
Erling arrived from Borussia Dortmund on an estimated £18milion-a-year deal — though there are already rumours he could go to Spain next.

One fan said: “Surprising he’s buying ‘house things’ considering he’s meant to be off to Madrid.”
Erling has viewed Pogba’s old home in Hale Barns, available for rent at £30,000 a month.
He moved to Norway aged three after his father’s spells with Nottingham Forest, Leeds and City.
