Guardiola insisted he could not find the words to describe Foden after a dazzling performance against rivals United on Thursday.

"I don't have words – I would like to have the right words to describe what I saw," said the City manager. "You are the lucky guys who saw the first game, for the first team for Manchester City, of this guy.

"It's a long time since I saw something like this. His performance was another level. He's 17-years-old, he's a City player, he grew up in the academy, he loves the club, he's a City fan and for us he's a gift.

"He will stay with us training with us in the pre-season and maybe he'll stay with us in season because he's special."
