Phil Foden embrace Gundogan after second goal against Dortmund

Manchester City star Phil Foden has fired his social media team after being left 'furious' by a tweet calling out Kylian Mbappe.

The 20-year-old Englishman score the winner as City beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 on Wednesday to seal a 4-2 aggregate victory and set up a Champions League semi-final with Paris Saint-Germain.

After the game, though, questions were asked of Foden when he appeared to post '@KMbappe are you ready?' with a handshake emoji on his Twitter page – apparently calling out one of the world's best players.

But the message was written by a company that runs the City ace's Twitter account.

It was soon deleted and the young player has now severed ties with his social media admin.
