Former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha has no doubts about the potential of Phil Foden.
Foden was superb for Sunday's 2-2 draw at Liverpool.
Onuoha told the Manchester Evening News: “In my life watching football, the best of the best have been Ronaldo and Messi from years gone by.
“At this moment, I don't think Phil is Ronaldo or Messi but I think he can be as good as the people who come in just behind that. I think he can be spoken about on the world stage as one of the best.
“In terms of timing, the fact those two players are in their mid-to-late 30s, why would you not aspire to be part of the conversation? People laud a Kylian Mbappe and someone like that — why can't Phil be spoken about in the same manner?
“And that's mind-blowing because you're talking about someone at City who's from Manchester. I think he's capable of doing anything and the best thing is he keeps on getting better and better.
