‘Really good’…Pep Guardiola says 23-year-old showed he was ‘world-class’ against Manchester United today

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola saw his side steamroll Manchester United in the end today as they ran out 3-1 winners.

 

 

Erling Haaland’s late goal wrapped up a fine win for the blue side of Manchester, as Phil Foden netted a brilliant double to see them come from behind after Marcus Rashford had scored.

 

For Guardiola and City, it was another box ticked on the way to winning another Premier League title and put the pressure back on Arsenal ahead of tomorrow.

 

Of course, a lot of talk has been going on about Foden in recent weeks and the level he is at.

 

And speaking after the game today, Guardiola said that Foden’s ability to win games on his own like today proves he is now a world class player.

 

“He’s winning games. The world class players when they win games on their own and that’s what he is doing. He’s humble enough, he loves to play football, his work ethic. He can play left winger, right winger, in the false nine. So yeah, the player of the game was really good,” Guardiola told BEIN Sports.
