Manchester City youngster Phil Foden was recently put to the sword by Rio Ferdinand who said that winning the Premier League title five times was an “absolute shame“. The former Manchester United player made this claim during his induction into the Premier League Hall Of Fame. Ferdinand was one of the newest inductees along with Sir Alex Ferguson, Petr Cech, and Arsene Wenger.
After the event, a reporter asked Ferdinand to share his opinion on who should be inducted in the Hall of Fame next year. Suprisingly! Rio cited the names of Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, and Mohamed Salah before giving his views on Phil Foden.
And when the reporter asked why he didn’t include Foden in the Hall of Fame this is what Rio replied, “Kevin De Bruyne is the first name everyone mentions. Arsene Wenger mentioned it last night when he was questioned, and I agree. I think Mohamed Salah will eventually get into it. Erling Haaland… He can enter it after just one season! Haaland could enter it now and feel comfortable. Who is the young player that I think will eventually get into it? Phil Foden. Did you know Foden potentially be at the end of this season if Man City wins the Premier League? …he will have five titles. He is 23! It’s a shame, an absolute shame.”
