Manchester City said on Sunday in a statement that “The club knows a video which has actually flowed on social media showing Phil Foden and his family being pestered and abused.

“We are shocked and horrified about the nature of the abuse and occurring assault on one of Phil’s member of the family.

“We will continue to offer Phil and his family all the assistance and assistance they require.”

Foden attended the bout after playing the full 90 minutes of Manchester City’s Premier League 3-2 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur at Etihad earlier on Saturday.
