‘In the center’: A pundit advises England to routinely deploy a ‘clever’ Manchester City player in the midfield.Scott Minto has stated that England’s Phil Foden should play the midfield position significantly more.

The commentator made this assertion on the Premier League All Access podcast of talkSPORT following the Manchester City attacker’s outstanding performance in the Three Lions’ most recent 2-0 victory over Malta.Foden has, intriguingly, acknowledged in the past that his preferred position is in the center of the park.

 

Scott Minto believes Phil Foden should represent England in the midfield.

Described as “clever” by Danny Murphy, the 23-year-old has predominantly appeared on international wide for Gareth Southgate’s squad.

 

As an illustration, the technician from Stockport was utilized on the right wing during the match against Malta, while Marcus Rashford was positioned on the opposite flank.

 

Scott Minto, on the other hand, believes it is time for Phil Foden to make his England debut in the midfield.”I do not believe that Gareth made a poor selection for the team; in the end, I believe that you must go out there and demonstrate your abilities.” In addition to focusing on the positives, I also consider what may have failed. For me, the positive aspect was Phil Foden.

 

“I think he’s a really good player, and I prefer to see him in the middle as opposed to wide,” he said on the Premier League All Access podcast of talkSPORT.

 

The pairing of Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden would be an ideal complement.

An intriguing hypothetical scenario involves England performing a midfield trio consisting of Declan Rice, Phil Foden, and Jude Bellingham, if Scott Minto is any indication to Gareth Southgate.Particularly thrilling is the possibility that Foden and Bellingham will cause havoc in the final third for the Three Lions.

 

Being both capable of operating in deeper areas and behind the striker, the duo would contribute to an exceptionally balanced midfield.

 

To establish a strong presence for England against opponents in Euro 2024, Phil Foden must be paired with another prodigious talent, the Real Madrid superstar, in the midfield.
