Erling Haaland ‘food video’ raises eyebrows

A video of Manchester City player Erling Haaland being scared by his own reflection has gone viral.

The clip shows the Norwegian striker eating a mouthful of food before suddenly seeing his reflection and flinching.

Thousands of people have watched the video shared on social media. “Haaland fears no one. Only himself,” one fan joked in the comments.

“I heard he consumes 6,000 calories a day — the Viking diet. Is that true?” another asked.

A third quipped, “He’s going to have trouble with his gut if he doesn’t adapt his chewing method.”

However, a fact-checking platform said the video was AI-manipulated. It also ran the original video that became the basis for the one featuring Erling.
