'He's a young man with the world at his feet': Graeme Souness backs Phil Foden to become a 'real player' after two-goal display against Burnley as Micah Richards says youngster is the man to replace David Silva at Man City

Phil Foden received heaps of praise from Micah Richards and Graham Souness after his two-goal display helped Manchester City beat Burnley 5-0.

The starlet was instrumental in City's victory, scoring the first and fifth goal at the Etihad and adding to his goal on their Premier League return against Arsenal.

The 20-year-old has been highly-rated by manager Pep Guardiola for some time but the several world class midfield players have at their disposal has meant Foden has had to be patient to get his chance.

Foden has had to bide his time behind David Silva, who has been a mainstay in City's midfield for the best part of a decade but will move on at the end of the season.
