Manchester City playmaker Phil Foden has made his feelings clear on the club’s recent loss to Manchester United, revealing the player that should be blamed for the loss.
City continued their bad form in all competition on Sunday as Manchester United defeated the defending Premier League champion. Amad completed a 2-1 comeback victory for United on 90 minutes – just 115 seconds after Bruno Fernandes had equalised from the penalty spot.
The defeat means City have now won one of their last 11 games in what is starting to develop into a crisis for manager Pep Guardiola.
With the manager now eager to find a way out of these crisis, a moment from the match appears to show Foden indicating who may have been at fault for the Amad goal.
Prior to Martinez receiving the ball to play his defence-splitting through pass, the England midfielder can be seen gesturing towards Erling Haaland in the direction of the Argentinian defender.

Had Haaland been closer to Martinez, he may not have been able to play the pass and instead been forced to explore other options.
Manchester City will be eager to get things right as Pep Guardiola looks to solve the biggest puzzle in his coaching career.
