Phil Foden was an unused substitute as Manchester City beat Chelsea 1-0 in the FA Cup final and he was asked about Pep Guardiola’s future after the game.
Phil Foden would love Pep Guardiola to stay at Manchester City for another year after the Blues boss masterminded a 20th trophy in his decade in charge.
City beat Chelsea 1-0 to claim a domestic cup double and keep alive hopes of a treble heading into the final two Premier League games of the campaign.
The Blues need a favour from either Burnley or Crystal Palace to have any chance of overhauling Arsenal but the signs are there that this City vintage can challenge the best and bring sustained silverware to the Etihad.

But it remains to be seen whether Guardiola will be there to oversee it with a growing expectation that the Catalan will depart in the summer. The Blues boss has had ample opportunity to provide clarity but has yet to do so and while he is under contract for another 12 months, that is no guarantee of him extending his Etihad stay into an 11th year.
But Foden, who was an unused sub at Wembley, would love to see the 55-year-old stay on at City.
“To play with him now for so many years has been a blessing,” he said. “He’s certainly helped my game.
“I’m really happy that he’s still here at the moment and let’s see what happens at the end of the season. Hopefully he can be here next season.
“All I can say is it’s been a pleasure playing under him.”
