Man City star reveals how Manchester derby divides his household, says his father and mother pitch tent against each other

Man City ace Phil Foden has revealed the Manchester derby causes a huge divide in his household… because his father is a United fan.

Speaking to Four Four Two, he said: “Obviously going to train with City made me a fan straight away.

“I told my dad that I wanted to be a City fan and he replied, ‘OK’, but I could see in his face that he was a bit disappointed.

“I think he saw it coming, though, once I was training with them.

“When derby days came around, it was me and my mum supporting City, then my dad and my brother supporting United – arguing and debating about who was going to win.

“But since I’ve been in City’s first team and it’s been me against United, I think I’m turning him slowly into a City fan – he’s not as interested in United as he used to be!”
