Foden, who netted a hat-trick against Manchester United at Etihad last season, netted a second-half double to help Pep Guardiola's side to a comeback victory.

The 22-year-old canceled out an early rocket from fellow England partner Marcus Rashford and keeps the defending champions just a point behind leaders Liverpool ahead of next Sunday's meeting at Anfield.

For 45 minutes, Guardiola's side seemed to forget who they were. City were in too much of a hurry and winger Jeremy Doku had a half to forget. Kobbie Mainoo was sensational in the first half and Onana who had a terrible start since his signing, delivered a magnificent performance too. The Cameroonian is now finally looking like the player who ten hag wanted to sign.

Manchester United had their tactics set to stop City. They had the goal to rely upon and just had to stop City from scoring. They did that brilliantly in the first half, but Foden's left-footed screamer changed everything in the second half. Rashford had two more sighters in the first half after scoring the opener, but he stumbled both times. He could have doubled the lead very early in the first half but failed and United paid the price.

Phil Foden scored the equaliser in the 56th minute and then City started to regain control. The decisive moment came 10 minutes from time as Foden combined with substitute Julian Alvarez and beat Onana with a low drive across goal. Haaland then wrapped up the scoring with his 28th goal of the campaign.

Erling Haaland missed an easy first-half sitter but managed to score the third City goal in injury time after a mistake at the back from Amrabat. It is the first time United had lost a Premier League match after leading at half-time for almost ten years. Erik ten Hag's side suffered back-to-back league defeats to further dent their hopes of Champions League qualification.

Man City are prepared to bid €100 million for Pedri

Pedri has been enjoying a great season at FC Barcelona, having scored 5 goals and provided 7 assists in 44 appearances for the Catalan giants this season. However, his contribution goes beyond the goal involvements, which shows why he has won eight Man of the Match awards in his last ten games for the club.

The 22-year-old midfielder is currently on a mega five-year contract with Barcelona that runs until June 2030. Pedri's contract also includes a release clause set at €1 billion, implying his utmost importance in building the long-term planning of FC Barcelona.

However, Pedri is currently valued at €120 million, according to transfermarkt, which is significantly higher than what Manchester City are keen to offer.

The English club has reportedly assessed all the financial aspects and feasibilities of the bid and are prepared to put forward a €100 million transfer fee offer to Barcelona.

Despite the reports, Pedri has not shown any interest in leaving the Blaugrana colours since joining the club from Las Palmas in September 2019, whereas Barcelona will also not be very keen to let Pedri leave.

With the potential departure of key midfielder Kevin De Bruyne said to be imminent, Pep Guardiola is looking to rejuvenate his midfield structure while keeping an eye on Pedri. Nico Gonzalez, another former Barcelona midfielder, was acquired by Man City in February 2025.

Liverpool FC is reportedly on the verge of arranging Darwin Nunez's departure from Anfield this summer if the Saudi Arabian revives its interest in the striker.

The Uruguayan striker had moved to the Reds from Portuguese giants Benfica in a deal worth up to £85 million back in the summer transfer window of 2022.

With a struggling season continuing for him at the Merseyside club, Nunez is believed to be out of new coach Arne Slot's plans and will look to rejuvenate his career in the Gulf.

Nunez may leave Liverpool in the upcoming transfer window

Nunez's Liverpool career has been affected by difficulties, as he has found it hard to establish himself in the club throughout his early years.

In his three years at the Merseyside club, he has scored 40 goals in 136 games across all competitions, but this season has been the most disappointing so far for the 25-year-old, as he has scored just seven times across all competitions.

With the direction of new head coach Arne Slot, Nunez has found himself out of favor, another contributing factor to speculation about his future.

Renowned Football Transfer journalist Duncan Castles broke the news on the latest episode of 'The Transfers Podcast' that Liverpool would accept a big Saudi Arabian offer and would be willing to urge Nunez to leave if they come back for him. Castles stated:

Liverpool would be happy if the Saudis came in and would encourage a move for Nunez. They would like to get some kind of significant return on the initial €75 million that they paid Benfica three years ago.

“From the Saudi perspective, [Nunez] still has that ability to be a name within the Saudi game and to deliver goals with his physicality. Interestingly, I’m told that his girlfriend, Lorena Manas, who is the ex-wife of former Barcelona player Aleix Vidal, has been working with agents to explore opportunities elsewhere.

“So it looks like this is both sides pushing against the same door with Nunez, or at least Nunez’s partner, encouraging him to look for a move and Liverpool happy to sell the player with a strong, affluent potential buyer in Saudi Arabia.

Interestingly, it had been hinted that Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr had made a substantial annual deal of €35 million towards Nunez back in January, having already made an offer of £58 million for the forward.

According to reports, Nunez's girlfriend, Lorena Manas, has also been working closely with agents to look into possible transfers in mutual consent, implying a joint pressure for a potential move.
