Gary Neville makes huge Brazil and Spain claim about Man City star Phil Foden

Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has claimed that Manchester City star Phil Foden would make it into the starting XI for Brazil and Spain at the World Cup.

Neville made his feelings known after Foden was left on the bench for England during their goalless draw with the United States of America. Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate opted to bring on Jordan Henderson, Marcus Rashford and City teammate Jack Grealish on to try and change the game but to no avail.

While Southgate would have been praised for his tactical changes if England won, the manager was criticised for being too safe and many wondered why Foden was not given an opportunity to impress.
