Manchester City: Erling Haaland receives death threat!

Erling Haaland celebrated his 25th birthday yesterday. But the party took a dark turn when he received a death threat in the midst of the festivities.

Born on July 21, 2000, Erling Haaland marked his 25th birthday this Monday. The Leeds native, currently enjoying his holidays after the Club World Cup and before the Premier League resumes, shared on his Snapchat account a message he received from a follower on Instagram.

"I hope you die soon, you filthy little bit-. You look like a retarded homeless person, go kill yourself." the message read. To this, the Sky Blues star responded: "Thanks for the wonderful birthday message (subscriber's name). I hope your parents are proud of the message you sent me."
