Here are your Tuesday evening Manchester City headlines.
Phil Foden has made it abundantly clear to Pep Guardiola where he sees his Man City future
04.08.2023 - 07:29 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Like most players at Manchester City, Phil Foden has to be prepared to play in multiple positions to satisfy what Pep Guardiola needs at any given game.
The City Academy product has amassed more than 200 appearances since making his debut under Guardiola in 2017. A trophy-laden spell has followed for the talented 23-year-old.
Foden has five Premier League winners' medals, as well as four League Cups and two FA Cups. The Champions League was added to his cabinet last season as City won the Treble.
His England career has taken off in that time too. He has 25 caps under Gareth Southgate and three goals, including finding the back of the net against Wales in last winter's World Cup in Qatar.

During his time at City, Foden has fulfilled a variety of roles across the attack. Sometimes in an attacking midfield role, sometimes on the right, sometimes on the left. It was a theme which has run throughout his career as Guardiola chops, changes and evolves to maintain high performance and intensity levels.
Though he can operate in several areas, Foden made it clear a few years ago that he would like to nail down a more central position rather than play from the flanks.
Speaking in 2021, Foden said: "Some games, I've played three different positions. I've played off the left, off the right, false nine, and in the middle. But from growing up, I've always played in one of the eight or 10 roles. So I'd like to see myself hopefully playing there one day, in the middle."
The departure of Ilkay Gundogan has opened the door for that to become a reality and for Foden to assert himself as the main man in the City midfield.
