Liverpool legend and Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher has questioned where Phil Foden fits into Manchester City's best team.
The English attacking midfielder is coming off a mixed season on a personal level last term.
While City won the treble, Foden was in and out of the team for much of the campaign.
Speaking on The Overlap, Carragher said: “Phil Foden is not young anymore [now 23 years old]. Three or four years ago, we were saying he was going to be the best English player.
“It almost feels like Jude Bellingham has become that player, where he's the one we build this England team around. Foden can't quite get in the England team and can't get in the Manchester City team.
“Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez have left, and they're playing in the Community Shield a week before the season begins, and he still can't get in the starting XI.
“We all know how good he is – what is it that's stopping him? Pep played Alvaréz behind Haaland – that's a position where Foden could play, but he still doesn't play him."
