Fans have made jokes about Erling Haaland’s inability to overcome “robot allegations” following his “raw dogging” of a seven-hour journey.
Following his preseason tour of the United States with Manchester City, the Norwegian striker was returning to England.

While the Citizens get ready for the upcoming Premier League season, Haaland, 24, looked impressive.
He scored four goals in the Ohio Stadium in the 4-2 victory over Chelsea in his most recent game.
He posted a humorous video on Instagram, though, so it seems he was still game for some on the plane ride home.
In the footage, he is seen viewing the flight chart while seated next to goalie Stefan Ortega.
As he “raw dogs” the aeroplane in the video, Haaland does not blink or move.
People that solely look at the flight map while in the air, without sleeping or doing anything else, are referred to as “raw dogging” on flights. This is an odd online fad.
“Just raw dogged a seven-hour flight,” was his caption for the video.
“No phone, no sleep, no water, no food, only map. #Easy.”
Fans have shared the video on social media, with many of them finding it funny.
As one admirer put it on social media, “He is never beating the robot allegations.”
Another said, “Mentality monster.”
Another person said, “Lmaooo this guy is hilarious.”
One more joker said, “Guy’s glitching.” Defo has to update its system.”
“Now this is a real athlete,” remarked the fifth.
One more person said, “This guy is crazy.”
On August 10, Man City’s competitive season got underway with a Community Shield matchup versus cross-town rivals Manchester United.
They desire to exact revenge on the Red Devils for losing to them in the FA Cup final the previous year.
On August 18, the team will take on Chelsea in the Premier League championship defence.
