Where are they now? Man City’s U23 team from Phil Foden’s last game

Having become an integral member of Pep Guardiola’s side aged just 21, it’s easy to forget that Foden only played his last Under-23 match in May 2018 – a 5-0 win over Tottenham in which the midfielder scored once and recorded two assists.

But what happened to his former Under-23 team-mates? We’ve taken a look at that Xl to see how they’ve all fared since.

Hopes were high when Muric joined Nottingham Forest on loan for the 2019-20 season.

But the Kosovo goalkeeper quickly fell out of favour at the Championship club, with The Athletic reporting that Muric rarely mixed with the other players and was caught using his phone at half-time. Subsequent loan spells with Girona and Willem II have proven more successful.

Now out on loan at Turkish side Adana Demirspor, it looks increasingly unlikely that he’ll return to play a role in the first-team squad. Still, Muric’s contract at the Etihad runs until 2024 – so never say never.

Humphreys had already played for the first team by the time he lined up against Tottenham but that would prove to be his only senior appearance for City.

The full-back, who appeared in two FA Cup matches in 2016, joined Belgian side Zulte Waregem in the summer of 2019 – he’s still there now – and spoke to us about his time under Pep Guardiola.

His half-time replacement against Spurs is also no longer a City player. Dele-Bashiru joined Watford on a six-year deal in 2019 and scored on his debut against Tranmere Rovers in an FA Cup tie.

Less happily, he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury on his league debut against Reading in October 2020 and took a long time to recover. Opportunities were few and far between at Vicarage Road but he’s featured regularly on loan at Reading this season.
