The moment Phil Foden stood up to Pep Guardiola in X-rated bust-up and convinced the Man City boss over his personal growth

A heated moment between Phil Foden and Pep Guardiola is said to have convinced the Man City boss over the England star's personal growth, according to reports.

Foden has been the topic of conversation in recent weeks, with many expecting the England international to play a major role in City's side this year.

Last season, Foden played a bit part role for the Treble winners but could now be offered a more senior position after the exit of Riyad Mahrez.

And, according to The Telegraph, Foden will have the backing of manager Pep Guardiola - who became convinced of his personal growth after an incident in 2020.
