Manchester from the start

It seems that Phil Foden was always destined to play for Manchester City. He has supported the Citizens his whole life, having been born in Stockport, Greater Manchester.
He was only four years old when he joined the club, so clearly, his talent has always been obvious.

In 2016 he signed his Academy scholarship with the club but balanced this alongside a top education from the prestigious St Bede’s College. The club provided financial assistance for the school’s fees.

First team football

His focus was kept firmly on football despite the great educational opportunities provided to him. The same year he signed his Academy scholarship, he was included in the Manchester City first-team matchday squad for the first time, in a Champions League group stage game, although he remained on the bench.

In 2017 Foden started getting opportunities for regular involvement after he impressed during the club’s summertime preseason tour, where he started in a 4-1 over Spanish titans Real Madrid.

His minutes were initially restricted to appearances from the bench, and his debut arrived in this manner when he replaced club legend Yaya Toure in another Champions League match. A month later, he started in the same competition against Feyenoord, making him the youngest English player ever to do so.

Introduction to the Premier League

Soon he started getting chanced in the Premier League also, with his first outing coming as a substitute again Spurs in a 4-1 win. By the end of the season, City had marched home with the title, and Foden became the youngest player ever to receive a Premier League winners’ medal! Earning a medal requires playing a certain number of the team’s games, so Foden had earned it.

Reaching the top

The diminutive winger was already making an impact while still being of school age, so it was clear to Pep Guardiola that Foden could be a crucial part of the team for years to come.

In the 2018-19 season, Phil Foden got his first goals for the clubs in multiple competitions, and City’s established wingers started to see that they had some serious competition for their spots in the team. He now already had 6 trophies to his name.

Phil Foden’s progression ever since then has been consistent and fast. Manchester City has continued to dominate English domestic football, although the Champions League remains elusive. As the local star continues improving his game, City fans hope he can provide the spark to finally deliver the coveted European trophy to the Etihad.

That expectation also comes from England fans, who have watched him play increasingly regularly for the side that came so close to winning the European Championship in 2021. Defences across the world will have to be at their very best to stop him at the 2022 World Cup.

Phil Foden Trivia

  • Despite being mainly known for his attacking talents, in his youth days, Foden was often used as a wing-back. Here he could still show off his skills but contributed to the team defensively too.
  • If Foden continues his recent form, he could be in line to win an impressive 3 Premier League Young Player of the Season awards, having won the last 2 iterations.
