In his latest fixture, Foden played the full 90 minutes at Old Trafford, earning a WhoScored match rating of 6.67.
Following the game, the 19-year-old took to Twitter, stating: “Not the result or performance we wanted. We will come back stronger, hungrier and better for the fans!!”

We played some decent football and had a lot of possession.
But we rarely worried their keeper. The only time we looked a threat was when we broke quickly.— Wayne (@bluemooners1) March 8, 2020

What do we think?
Although City failed to take anything from the game, Foden’s performance should encourage City fans nonetheless.
The midfielder registered two shots, made one key pass, and completed four dribbles in the game – which are certainly promising statistics in a Manchester derby from a player who is still just a teenager.
