Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand is in awe of Manchester City youngster Phil Foden.

Ferdinand heavily praised the young Englishman after his excellent performance against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semi final second leg.

City won the game 2-0 in Manchester, and are now through to the final after a 4-1 win on aggregate.

Foden, who is only 20, was instrumental in both legs, and Ferdinand believes he is the best young player in the world.

"At the moment I would say Phil Foden is the best young player in the world right now on form," Ferdinand said from the BT Sport studio after the game.

"[Erling] Haaland is yet to play at this level. In terms of this moment, Foden is the best on form."

Ex-City and England keeper Joe Hart agreed, adding:

"Look at his [Foden's] freedom.

"His name is Phil, he's 20 from Stockport and he's lighting it up!

"It's so important for Man City to have a player doing that."
