What happened. Phil Foden is about to start his ninth season at Manchester City, his first under new manager Enzo Maresca, and the article questions how well we truly know him.

• Foden expressed excitement about working with Maresca, but the article calls it a 'barefaced lie'.
• He has a new contract and a fresh start, but excitement may be low.
• Maresca's approach inspires bracing, not excitement, according to the piece.

“Playing for Enzo Maresca inspires plenty of emotions, but excitement would probably feature pretty low down a list.”

— Jonathan Liew

This season could finally reveal who Foden is as a player under a different manager.
