Erling Haaland removes his ponytail as the long-haired Manchester City star picks up a bundle of bulbs from a garage with girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen

Erling Haaland was caught on Wednesday at a Cheshire petrol station with his blonde hair loose rather than in his signature ponytail.

The Manchester City striker, 23, was joined by his girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen as they refueled their car and purchased some groceries.

The Norwegian looked dashing in his shoulder-length mop as he went into the garage to get a pack of batteries, while Isabel grabbed a can of Coke.

Haaland smiled, wearing a cream zip-up, a £3000 Brunelli Cucinelli tracksuit, and white trainers, one hand in his pocket.

He was joined by Isabel, 19, who took care of filling up his £300,000 Rolls Royce.

Erling Haaland, 23, was unrecognizable when he let his blonde hair loose for a trip to a Cheshire gas station with his girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen, 19, on Wednesday.

She also dressed casually, wearing blue slacks, a thin black V-neck long-sleeved sweatshirt, and white trainers.

Isabel, a football player, and Haaland made jokes as she filled the Premier League top scorer’s 90-litre tank.

The couple has been dating since at least 2022, when they were spotted on a holiday in Marbella, but they keep their relationship private.

The average price of petrol in Cheshire is £1.34 a litre, so the couple would have paid around £120 for a full tank of fuel.

It comes just two days after Haaland made his first start for Brentford during his long injury layoff in a home game.

Haaland missed ten matches from mid-December to the end of January because to a stress response in one of his footbones.

He played 19 minutes in the win over Burnley at the end of January, three weeks after he had anticipated to return.

Manchester City won 3-1, with Phil Foden scoring a hat trick, despite Brentford scored first.
