“Amazing,” he said when asked about Guardiola’s coaching style.

“Unbelievable, I think he’s made me 10 times the player I was. He’s improved all aspects of my game and I’m just thankful to have him here and I’m enjoying my football with him.”

Foden’s influence and impact across the last two campaigns saw him win the PFA Young Player of the Year and the Premier League Young Player of the Season two years running.
