Phil Foden came in the starting lineup of Manchester City for a friendly match against Manchester United and was replaced by Alexander Zinchenka in the 74th minute of the game.

"I have no words. I would like to find the right words to describe what I saw, "- said Guardiola.

"You are very lucky that you saw this guy's debut game for the first team of Manchester City. I have not seen anything like this for a long time ".

"His game was completely at a different level.

He is 17 years old, he is a City player, he grew up in the academy, he loves the club, he is a fan of the City and for us he is a real gift ".

"He will stay with us during the pre-season preparation and, perhaps, he will spend the whole season with us, because he is special".

Last season, the 17-year-old Englishman played for Manchester City 20 matches in the Premier League U-18, which scored 11 goals and gave six assists. Also, his three goals in six games helped Townspeople reach the finals of the Junior FA Cup, where they lost to Chelsea with a total score of 6: 2.
