The 25-year-old Erling Haaland, who plays for Premier League giants Manchester City and dons the Norway national team jersey, stands at an imposing 194 cm. His explosive power and lethal finishing in the box make him arguably the most formidable goal-scoring machine of his generation.
His iconic blonde ponytail, lean, tall physique, and formidable skills have led fans and media alike to dub him "Majin Buu." Memes comparing him to the "Dragon Ball" villain are ubiquitous across global social media.
Turns out, an Instagram account called "hidden.ny" compiled a series of images comparing Haaland to "Dragon Ball's" Majin Buu. And guess what? Haaland himself popped into the comments on the post, dropping the perfect reply: "I mean I don’t disagree."
This instantly sent fans into a frenzy! They couldn't believe Haaland would personally respond to a meme post, especially during the World Cup, leaving supporters absolutely thrilled.
Of course, the "Majin Buu" comparison isn't new, but this marks Haaland's first direct response to the meme. Fans are buzzing, realizing he's seen it all along, and it looks like he doesn't mind the "Majin Buu" moniker – he even seems to embrace it!
