‘Let’s go, brother!’ he said as the pair shook hands, to which Haaland responded: ‘How are you my friend?’

‘Nice to meet you finally bro!’ Speed replied.

Haaland quickly changed the tune of the conversation, however, assessing Speed’s outfit choice.

‘What’s with the shoes, man?’ he said, with Speed replying: ‘What’s up with your hair bro?’

‘It’s nice,’ Haaland responded. ‘You don’t like it?’

The two then took a photo and said their goodbyes, with Speed chanting the Manchester City forward’s name as he walked away.
