Phil Foden expressed his desire to repay Manchester City’s faith in him as he looks forward to a fresh start under new manager Enzo Maresca. Foden, who scored 19 goals during the 2023-24 season and was named PFA player of the year, has struggled with form recently, failing to score in his last 31 appearances. Despite his recent difficulties, he signed a new four-year contract with the club, keeping him at the Etihad Stadium until 2030. Foden is optimistic about the upcoming season, stating he feels fully fit and is enjoying working with Maresca, who he has a prior relationship with from their time together at the club. Maresca will oversee his first match against Inter Milan in Hong Kong this Saturday.
