On the same day he heard the devastating news, Haaland scored twice in Manchester City’s 2-0 win over Everton.

And two weeks later, the grieving striker took to social media this weekend to share a photo of himself alongside Rasdal.

Alongside the photo, he posted two emojis – a heart and a dove – on his Instagram story.

Her goal machine of a grandson has been crushing it in the Premier League for the past 18 months.

Despite being injured, the Norway international has scored 22 goals from 29 games this season.

And the 23-year-old reappeared three days later after his grandmother’s death in a 3-1 Champions League win against Copenhagen.

Haaland may have missed many chances against Chelsea in City’s 1-1 draw last weekend.

But he returned in full force in Pep Guardiola’s 1-0 win over Brentford.

While the Spaniard backed his superstar in the face of critics, he revealed that the striker is struggling off the pitch.

Guardiola said: “Top strikers score a lot of goals. Don’t criticize because he will shut your mouth.”

‘Sooner or later he’ll be there. He was out for two months. He has had an incredibly tough week, losing his grandmother.

“It’s not easy for a man and he’s not in his best form. In these kinds of games like Brentford you need Erling.”
