Phil Foden has made it clear he is ready to rise above the noise and rediscover the form that crowned him Premier League Player of the Season in 2023/24.
The Manchester City star was back in the spotlight on Sunday, scoring the opener in a commanding 3-0 victory over rivals Manchester United at the Etihad. It was his first league start of the new campaign, and he wasted no time making an impact.
“There has been a lot of talk. It’s impossible [not to see it]. Everything I see at the moment is negative but that’s the world we live,” Foden told Sky Sports after the derby triumph.
“When you come off winning Player of the Season, the standards are higher. I understand that.
“It’s about reading those comments and reacting, to come back to my level.”
The 24-year-old has built his career on handling pressure and delivering in big moments. His derby strike not only set the tone for City’s dominance but also served as a statement that he is determined to hit top gear again.
With Foden already showing signs of sharpness and hunger, City fans will believe their midfield magician is ready to silence his critics and remind the league of his game-changing quality.
