Phil Foden brands Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola 'the best coach I could ask for' to develop his game as England international looks back on his journey from boyhood City fan to midfield star

Phil Foden has named Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola as the 'best coach he could ask for' in order to improve his playing style.

The 20-year-old midfielder is enjoying a brilliant season for the current Premier League leaders, scoring 11 goals and picking up six assists in all competitions in what is arguably the young Englishman's best professional campaign to date.

Foden has been involved in City's first-team for the past four seasons now but struggled for game time to begin with in an all-star midfielder comprising on Kevin de Bruyne and former City star David Silva.
