England and Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has advised Phil Foden to 'keep doing what he's doing'.

The Manchester City playmaker has become a regular in the first-team this season, showing glimpses of his immense potential with City returning to the Premier League summit.

And Rooney says the 20-year-old must continue to keep his head down and work hard.

He told reporters: "I think [my advice] for Phil Foden is to keep doing what he's doing.

"I think he has been one of the best players in the league this season. Guardiola has managed him really well.

"I spoke to him a couple of times and you could see he is a very level-headed lad. So, to keep doing what he's doing. He's entertaining to watch, great to watch.

"I think there's a few players, not just him, [such as] Jack Grealish who bring something different to the national team. They have to be in the squad for the Euros and arguably have to play. They are that good.

"He's scoring, he's assisting and hopefully he can carry that form on with the national team."
