Some Manchester City fans have reacted online after Pep Guardiola once 🎐again lauded young midfielder Phil Foden.

The 19-year-old has had to make do with a regular role on the bench this season due to the continued form of the likes of David Silva, Kevi♏n De Bruyne, Rodri and Ilkay Gundogan.

A large section🐬 of the City support are clamouring to see the starlet given a run of games by the manager, but the 48-year-old has so far resisted temptat💎ion.

from a new book ‘Pep’s City: The Making of a Sup💞erteam’, he 🍨said: “We didn’t give Foden a new contract by accident.

“He is the only player that can’t be sold under any circum🌳stances – t🅘he only one. Not even for 500 million euros.

“P♛hil’s going nowhere – Phil is City. We won’t be signing anyone else for that po🍷sition.

“When David Silඣva leaves, we know exactly who our new magician willღ be.”

Guardiola publicly apologised to Foden after he had scored against Dinamo Zagreb in the Chamꦅpions League fo💞r not playing him more.

City fans react

Many are itching to see him given a chance right now, rather than when the sublime Silva m♉oves on:
