Pundit Robbie Mustoe has compared Phil Foden to Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland after his standout performance for Manchester City against Manchester United. Foden scored two crucial goals in the second half to lead City to victory, with Erling Haaland sealing the win in injury-time at the Etihad.

Since the game, Foden has been receiving high praise, with Pep Guardiola calling him the best player in the Premier League this season. Paul Merson went as far as to say that Foden could fit into any team in the world, highlighting his newfound status as one of City’s top players.

According to Mustoe, it’s time for fans to recognize Foden in the same category as De Bruyne and Haaland. Foden’s performance against United was arguably his best of the season, displaying his versatility and skill across multiple positions on the pitch.

The goal now for Foden is to maintain this level of performance consistently. He has proven himself to be a world-class talent, stepping up in crucial moments for City in the absence of key players. Foden’s ability to impact games and contribute to goals puts him on par with elite players like De Bruyne and Haaland.

City supporters have faith that Foden can sustain this high level of play for years to come. De Bruyne has established himself as a top player for a long time, while Haaland has been a standout striker since bursting onto the scene as a teenager. Foden’s potential to continue growing and developing as a top-tier talent is evident, and fans are excited to see how he progresses in the future.
