When Erling Braut Haaland held his first press conference with the national team after his transfer to Manchester City, he had to directly answer questions about the club's owner.

Norwegian TV channel NRK asked Haaland what he thought about the allegations of human rights violations against the owner.

- First of all, I have never met them.

I don't know them that way.

Those are pretty strong accusations you make.

When you say that, I can't help but not say much about it.

I think it would be a bit too boring words, says Haaland.

City is owned by Sheik Mansour who is a member of the United Arab Emirates royal family and part of the government of Abu Dhabi.
