Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola said that Phil Foden is the best player in the English Premier League given his current level, and he will become a Manchester City legend after a brace he scored in the second half led his team to a huge 3-1 victory over Manchester United. Guardiola said: “It has to do with the number of matches he played. He has always been a talented player, but now he is more mature and understands the game more, especially on the defensive level. He can play in the middle and right, create key moments and penetrate, play on the left, and score from the left. What can I say? "He's the best player in the Premier League at the moment because of the amount of things he does. It's unbelievable." Foden's quality and level of consistency make him an indispensable player in a team that includes world-class players, and his current level makes it inconceivable that he will be absent from the England national team under the leadership of Gareth Southgate. In response to a question about Foden’s defensive discipline, Guardiola replied: “We do not negotiate about that.” The guy who doesn't do that doesn't stay on the team. "He loves football and lives for it. It's fun and his work ethic is unbelievable."
