Man City boss Guardiola: Foden improving all the time

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is delighted with the form of Phil Foden.

The midfielder is proving a first-choice for Guardiola.

And the manager said: “He understands the game a little bit more.

“He has a sense of goal, assists, work ethic. At his age I don't know how many games he has played, how many titles he has won.

“He can play in five positions. When you play in the central positions, that quality is there. When he plays wide we also have the sense that he can create something in tight games when the spaces are so small.

“He played two games in World Cup and since then, his impact has been decisive. Phil has always played good since 16 years old when we realised he has a special talent but now a lot of goals and assists.

“[Against Burnley] He wait and wait and gave it to Rodri to score. You don't have to make actions all the time, calm and calm, pass the ball."
