Guardiola confirms Foden will replace David Silva at Man City next season

Pep Guardiola says Manchester City won’t be signing a replacement for David Silva, because he has faith in Phil Foden to fill his boots.

The legendary Spaniard is set to leave Manchester at the end of the 2019-20 season with 19-year-old Foden – known to some as the ‘Stockport Iniesta' – finally set to get his big chance in the City first team.

Foden has made 21 appearances in all competitions this season, though only one of his 11 Premier League outings has seen him on the pitch for more than an hour.
