Sergio Aguero praised Phil Foden for his outstanding performance in Manchester City’s 3-1 victory over Manchester United. Aguero had previously expressed his admiration for Foden in April 2022, calling him his “favorite player” after a Champions League match against Atletico Madrid. The retired striker also urged Pep Guardiola to give the 23-year-old more playing time.
In November, it was reported that Lionel Messi and Javier Mascherano had asked Aguero about Foden’s abilities. Aguero has always held Foden in high regard, which is especially meaningful as Foden is a lifelong fan of Manchester City.
Foden, who earns £225,000 a week, delivered a stellar performance in the Manchester Derby, much like Aguero did during his time at City. After the match, Aguero took to social media to laud Foden, calling him a “crack,” a term used to describe a highly skilled player.
For Foden, receiving praise from Aguero must be a great honor. Aguero’s status as a club legend only adds to the significance of his admiration for the young midfielder. Aguero’s continued support and recognition of Foden’s talent demonstrate the respect he has for his former teammate.
Overall, Aguero’s endorsement of Foden highlights the young player’s potential and talent. Foden’s performance against Manchester United, coupled with Aguero’s praise, reinforces his importance to the team and his bright future ahead.
