Footballers are paying as much as £4,000 a month to outsource their social media activity, Sportsmail can disclose.

Manchester City star Phil Foden was left less than impressed on Wednesday night after a member of his social media team posted a tweet that appeared to call out Kylian Mbappe ahead of his side’s Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain.

Foden, fresh from scoring the winner against Borussia Dortmund, hadn’t approved the tweet and it was subsequently deleted.

Phil Foden was furious with the tweet sent without his approval, which tagged Kylian Mbappe
