Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has publicly committed to restoring Phil Foden to his highest level of performance, stating that he intends to help the midfielder become the player everyone expects him to be.

Maresca identified this objective as a core duty of his management role. The focus on Foden follows his recognition as Player of the Year in the season immediately after Manchester City’s treble-winning campaign.

The manager highlighted Foden’s deep connection to the club, describing him as a lifelong Manchester City supporter who is "from the house." This personal history remains a central element of Maresca’s approach to managing the player's development moving forward.
