A new advertisement campaign for Erling Haaland’s partnership with Clash of Clans will take a cheeky dig at Manchester United legends. The Manchester City star recently became a character in the popular mobile game, with his character being named the ‘Barbarian King’. Haaland, who is a long-time fan of Clash of Clans, expressed excitement over being featured in the game as a playable character, making history as the first real person to be included.
The promotional campaign for Haaland’s partnership with Clash of Clans has expanded to the streets of Manchester, with a billboard appearing in the city center. The billboard features a tagline that reads ‘He stole your trophies’, possibly taking a jab at Manchester United ahead of the premiere of their Treble docu-series. The report also mentions that Manchester City are currently contending for the domestic double title, with the Premier League title still within reach and an FA Cup final against Manchester United on the horizon.
Manchester City recently made history by winning the Treble, becoming only the second team in English football to achieve this feat. While they weren’t able to repeat the success in the following season, City is in a good position to secure the Premier League title once again and potentially win the FA Cup. The promotional campaign for Erling Haaland’s partnership with Clash of Clans adds an extra layer of excitement leading up to the competition between City and United.
