Phil Foden, at 23 years old, has been receiving praise from Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola for his outstanding performances this season. With 28 direct goal involvements in various competitions, including 11 goals and seven assists in the Premier League, Foden has emerged as a crucial player for City. He has made 258 appearances for the team since his debut in November 2017 and is also expected to play a significant role in England’s squad at the upcoming European Championship.

Foden’s versatility as a midfielder was evident in his recent 3-1 comeback win against Manchester United, where he scored twice. He has also scored goals against teams like Bournemouth, Brentford, FC Copenhagen, and others. In the absence of Kevin De Bruyne, Foden has stepped up for Manchester City and played a vital role in their pursuit of a fourth consecutive Premier League title.

Despite Guardiola calling him “world class,” Foden remains humble and acknowledges that he still has room to grow and improve as a player. He understands the importance of consistency in performing at the highest level in big games to truly earn the status of a world-class player.

In a recent derby match against Manchester United, Foden scored two goals, adding to his tally of six goals in 12 appearances against the rivals. As a lifelong City fan, Foden’s contributions on the field have not gone unnoticed by both fans and his manager, as he continues to excel and strive for greatness in his career.
