In his final game, he scored three goals against Chelsea in a 4-2 victory at Ohio Stadium.
He was still up for some on the journey home, though, as seen by a comical film he posted on Instagram.
The footage shows him seated next to custodian Stefan Ortega, looking at the flight map.
Haaland does not blink or move throughout the video as he “raw dogs” the aircraft.
The term “raw dogging” on a flight refers to a peculiar online fad in which passengers just watch the flight map and do not sleep or do anything else while in the air.
He captioned the clip: “Just raw dogged a seven-hour flight.
“No phone, no sleep, no water, no food, only map. #Easy.”
The clip has been shared by fans across social media with many finding it hilarious.
One fan posted: “He is never beating the robot allegations.”
A second commented: “Mentality monster.”
A third wrote: “Lmaooo this guy is hilarious.”
A fourth joked: “Guy’s glitching. Defo needs a system upgrade.”
A fifth said: “Now this is a real athlete.”
Another added: “This guy is mental.”
On August 10, Manchester City’s competitive season began with a Community Shield match against cross-city rivals Manchester United.
They will aim to exact revenge on the Red Devils for their FA Cup final humiliation last season.
The club’s Premier League title defence will begin on August 18 against Chelsea.
