Gary Neville questions Manchester United failure to recruit Man City hero Phil Foden

Gary Neville has chosen Manchester City’s Phil Foden as the current attacking Premier League player he would have most liked to play alongside, revealing his disbelief at how Manchester United failed to pick him up as a youngster.

The former Reds captain was reflecting on the 30-year anniversary since the start of the Premier League when he made the admission. Fellow pundit Jamie Carragher opted for Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold as the current player he’d most like to play with.

Defensively speaking, Neville initially chose Virgil van Dijk but then explained why City star Foden would be the attack-minded active player he’d most like to play with. He also outlined his regret that United had missed out on bringing him into their academy set-up instead.
