The 18-year-old could get more first-team football at most other clubs but he is getting a great education under Pep Guardiola at the Etihad
Phil Foden could have had a hat-trick in Manchester City's FA Cup game against Newport on Saturday evening.
The 18-year-old could have quite easily lashed the ball home from a matter of inches, after Leroy Sane’s shot had crashed off goalkeeper Joe Day’s face and bounced towards goal.
There are few players in the City squad so capable with the ball in tight areas as Foden, so it would have been no problem to poke the ball over the line under no pressure.
