MAN City goal hero Erling Haaland is so big the Premier League champions had to install a super-size treatment bed just for him.
The 6ft 4in striker has also been nicknamed Big E by his team-mates, fellow City star Kyle Walker revealed.

Norwegian ace Haaland, 23, was christened with his new nickname after the table arrived in the treatment room at the club, England defender Walker told Sky TV’s Saturday Social.
He explained: “He’s just massive, isn’t he?
“So that’s what we call him — Big E.
“We’ve had to buy a new bed in the treatment room because he doesn’t fit on the normal beds.
“He’s had to have his own special bed.”
Haaland has terrorised defenders with his size and power, netting 11 league goals already this campaign.
This follows a remarkable first season at the club after joining last summer from Borussia Dortmund — scoring 52 goals in 53 games to help City win the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup.
Despite his success, Walker says there is no ego on show from the Norwegian and “he’s a good laugh”.
He added: “Obviously, he’s a superstar and, in the nicest way possible, he knows that but he’s not arrogant with that.”
Off the pitch Haaland likes to meditate and his trademark goal celebration is the Zen pose.
