Pep Guardiola has followed Kevin De Bruyne in tipping Phil Foden to shine in a central role for Manchester City following his stunning hat-trick in the Manchester derby.
Erling Haaland's latest treble stole the headlines during Sunday's emphatic 6-3 win over Manchester United, but Foden also bagged a three-goal haul to put Erik ten Hag's side to the sword.
The 22-year-old academy graduate has now surpassed 50 career goals for his boyhood club, with most of his minutes coming as a wide forward in a front three. But De Bruyne, City's creator-in-chief, has insisted that Foden could thrive in a deeper, central role.
