Pep Guardiola mentioned Phil Foden in the same breath as the great Lionel Messi as the Manchester City star's game continues to scale new heights.
Foden's brace during Sunday's 3-1 victory over Manchester United earned him more rave reviews, with his manager claiming that the 23-year-old is currently the best player in the Premier League.
But Guardiola then went one further, believing that Foden's ability to take charge of matches in decisive moments reminds him of a young Messi.
'The good players, you can play good - but you have to win games, and I met the biggest ever player like Messi,' Guardiola told TV2.
