Erling Haaland reportedly made public a motivational statement that was on display at Manchester City’s training facility and intended to inspire the club to win the Premier League again.
The league’s leading scorer shared a picture of himself with Khabib Nurmagomedov while promoting their inspirational tagline.
The former UFC lightweight champion was welcomed to Manchester by City, where he met Haaland and watched Chelsea’s draw on Sunday.
Enzo Fernandez’s late equalizer caused City to give up vital points and lag behind Arsenal even more.
Pep Guardiola’s side will visit Brighton & Hove Albion on Wednesday night, a day before Mikel Arteta’s team host Liverpool in north London, trailing the Gunners by six points.

Yet, as their rallying cry proclaims, City “don’t quit”. The complete message begins as quoted by The Mirror: “The pressure. The chase. The difficulties.
“We’ve been here before, pushed to the absolute limit and still taking everything. That has always been our spirit.
“We don’t fold. We don’t panic. We don’t quit.
“We adapt. We respond. We turn setbacks into solutions. We change situations, because that’s what we do.
“We are not weaklings. We are Manchester City Football Club.” Haaland captioned his post: “Mentality”.
Guardiola has repeatedly emphasised his squad’s championship mindset.
During their most recent Premier League triumph, he said: “This is the incredible value of these players. These ones and previous ones for the mentality the club has, absolutely, this is the most.
“They know how difficult it is for them to be consistent for six or seven years. They can be consistent for a month every season, but for six, seven years and still now we are there.”
