Erling Haaland has revealed Manchester United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer taught him how to head the ball properly as he prepares for his first derby with Manchester City.
The Norwegian has started life in the Premier League in incredible fashion with 11 goals in just seven outings and Haaland will be desperate to add to that total at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Much has been made of the 6ft 5in Haaland's aerial battle with United's 5ft 9in centre-back Lisandro Martinez.
And Haaland, 22, has spoken about the pivotal role ex-United striker and manager Solskjaer played in developing this particularly powerful facet of his game.
Haaland has scored headed goals in City's victories over Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest during the early weeks of the season.
City remain unbeaten in seven league fixtures so far this season and are second in the table behind Arsenal, who beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 on Saturday.
They come up against a United team slowly gaining form under their new manager Erik ten Hag and who have won four consecutive league matches.
