Erling Haaland has admitted he dreams about Kevin De Bruyne 'every night', in a hilarious interaction on Instagram between the pair.
The newly-formed Manchester City duo connected for the first time on the pitch at the weekend in the Premier League champions' 0-2 win over West Ham at the London Stadium.

A sumptuous 30 yard pass from the Belgian maestro put Haaland through on goal, before the Norwegian international slotted home in the same fashion we had seen on multiple occasions for Borussia Dortmund.
The City pair are every single Fantasy Premier League manager's dream, as they registered their first goal/assist connection of the new campaign.
While their on-field connection goes from strength to strength with every passing minute of action, their off-the-field relationship is also catching the eyes of many.

This week, Erling Haaland has been taking some time off away from training, posting a photo onto his Instagram of himself while browsing a restaurant menu.
The 22 year-old joked with a caption, "About to order the whole menu."
Things got even better in the comment section however, with his Manchester City teammate Kevin De Bruyne joking about the assists he is already beginning to provide Haaland on the pitch.

De Bruyne responded, "You want me to hold the menu and assist you?"
It then got a little intimate and personal, as Haaland responded by saying, "Yes I'm dreaming of it every night. Don't know why."
Manchester City fans will be hoping that the weekend was just the start of a special connection between the pair.

Their off-field relationship would suggest that this is going to be the case.
Erling Haaland is set to make his Etihad Stadium bow this weekend, as the Premier League champions return to the North-West for the first time this season for competitive football action.
Newly-promoted AFC Bournemouth are the visitors, and will be more than aware of the dangers posed by the aforementioned duo and the rest of Pep Guardiola's star studded squad.

Elsewhere, Manchester City are closing in on the signing of RSC Anderlecht left-back Sergio Gomez.
