Manchester City’s star striker Erling Haaland drove around a couple of weeks ago in his 340,000-euro Rolls-Royce near City’s home stadium, smartphone in hand.
A picture of the man was snapped, which has also ended up on the police’s desk.
– I can confirm that GMP (Greater Manchester Police) is aware of this image and is investigating the matter, the police spokesperson said For the Manchester Evening News.
Using a mobile phone while driving is prohibited in England, so a Norwegian now faces a fine of 200 pounds, or about 227 euros. It is a small amount for Haaland, because the man earns The Sun – magazine, 375,000 pounds (about 426,000 euros) per week.
In addition, the shooter can also lose his driver’s license if he only got it within the last two years. Haaland moved to England last summer from Germany.
The 22-year-old goalscorer has already found the net 28 times in 26 matches in the Premier League this season. In the Champions League, he has hit ten balls in six games.
