Manchester City's Phil Foden has faced Manchester United competitively a total of 17 times across all competitions; only against Chelsea (19) has he faced an opponent more in his senior career.

The versatile midfielder has celebrated 10 victories in that time and has been involved in just one draw, while he has also suffered six defeats - the most that he has suffered against a single opponent in his career, one more than Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur (both five).

Seven of those 10 wins for Foden against United have taken place in the Premier League. He has also beaten the Red Devils twice in the EFL Cup, while his solitary FA Cup triumph was in the 2023 final at Wembley when the Citizens claimed a 2-1 victory - Foden only played for 14 minutes, though.

Foden’s first encounter against Man United was as a late substitute at the age of just 18 in a 3-1 Premier League win, but since then, he has started 12 times in matches versus the Red Devils in all tournaments.

Man City’s No.47 has scored a total of seven goals in Manchester derbies; only against Brighton & Hove Albion (eight) has he netted more goals against an opponent in his career.

Foden scored his first three goals against Man United in a memorable 6-3 top-flight win at the Etihad Stadium in October 2022, netting his first career hat-trick in the same game that Erling Haaland also scored a treble.

The England international then scored three more goals across home and away Premier League derbies in the 2023-24 campaign, netting the final goal in an impressive 3-0 victory at Old Trafford before scoring twice in a man-of-the-match display in a 3-1 comeback win at the Etihad.

Foden’s most recent goal against Man United was a close-range header to open the scoring in a 3-0 home victory in September 2025, meaning that six of his seven goals against the Red Devils have been netted at the Etihad.
