Man City sensation Erling Haaland has revealed his “embarrassing” pastime – playing Minecraft.

The striker, who has scored the most goals in a Premier League season, relaxes by playing the world building game.

Earlier this month, the 22-year-old said: “I can’t keep thinking about these records or I’d become crazy. I’ll go home, play video games, eat something then sleep. I can’t say what video game… it is too embarrassing."

But on Friday, he posted an image of the world he is creating in Minecraft. Another image showed him in a turquoise tracksuit holding Minecraft Steve’s sword.

Haaland, on £865,000-a-week after bonuses, could add to his record 36 Prem goal tally by helping treble-chasing City clinch the Premier League title with a victory over Chelsea today.

Last month, he was pictured in just his underpants next to former Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher.

After the photo went viral, department store chain TOFS said that sales of the underwear rose by 45%.
