Haaland was attending to media duties at a pre-season press conference on Saturday, before City took on AC Milan in a friendly at the New York Yankee's stadium.
But the conference got off to a stuttering start after Haaland walked into the room without so much as a 'hello'.
'Hello, everyone,' Haaland said, as he took a seat. He was greeted with silence.
'Say hello, then!' he quickly followed up, raising his arms in consternation. The room obliged sheepishly, murmuring a hello in response.
