Man City midfielder Foden: Social media not for me

Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden says he ignores social media.

Unlike many of his peers, Foden insists he's not one to be on the phone after a game.

He said, "I think the younger generation are all wrapped up in their phones, in social media.

"I find it boring. There's too much negative stuff. A lot of people who don't know anything about football. I just ignore it, it's not for me."

On coping with fame, Foden told Esquire: "Cars would pull up and people would ask for a photo when I was just walking down the street in Stockport. It was quite strange, getting used to it. But I just try to be respectful and polite."
