Morgan Gibbs-White hails his four-year-old godson Ronnie Foden's 'crazy' rise to fame, and jokes he has 'more Instagram followers' than the entire England U21 squad after joining dad Phil for Man City's Treble celebrations

Phil Foden's son Ronnie was the talk of England’s breakfast table on Tuesday after becoming an overnight Instagram sensation.

The four-year-old shot to stardom in the immediate aftermath of Manchester City’s Champions League triumph in Istanbul across a number of viral videos while celebrating with his father.

Foden Jnr was seen interacting with Erling Haaland on the pitch before shouting in amazement that supporters congregating around the tunnel area knew his name.

Fans in South America took to the youngster, nicknamed ‘El Wey’ – which translates to ‘The Dude’ – and his parents subsequently set up an Instagram account.
