For what he is doing for Manchester City at this young age I can say he is better than Chelsea Legend Frank Lampard-Phil Foden already a ‘better footballer’ than Chelsea legend, says Paul Scholes.
Paul Scholes, following an impressive display by Phil Foden in Manchester City’s 3-1 win over Manchester United, asserts that Foden surpasses Frank Lampard in sheer talent. Foden’s impact in the Manchester derby was evident as he seized control of the match, responding to Marcus Rashford’s early strike with a stunning goal and then netting another to secure the victory for City. Erling Haaland sealed the win for City in stoppage time, narrowing the gap with league leaders Liverpool.
Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag faces criticism as Manchester United lags behind in sixth place, struggling to secure a Champions League spot for the next season.
