Aston Villa great Paul McGrath has praised Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola for his management of Phil Foden.

He wrote for the Sunday World: "Fair dues to Pep Guardiola who has nurtured the England starlet's young career, slowly but surely, a game here, a game there.

"But without ever rushing the Stockport lad while he wasn't physically ready for the big time.

"And Foden still looks about 12, mind you! Pep is reaping the rewards of that caution now.

"Foden looks like a hell of a player and it was interesting to hear Pep say a few months ago, that, even though Manchester City are not short of money, 'every one of our players has his price. But not Phil Foden, he is not for sale'."
