Manchester United great Roy Keane makes Phil Foden and Paul Scholes comparison


Manchester United legend Roy Keane noticed shadows of Paul Scholes in Phil Foden's first goal for England on Wednesday night. The 20-year-old was recalled to the senior squad for England's triple-header during the international break and marked his return with a brace as the Three Lions beat Iceland 4-0. Foden first sweeping the ball home from inside the area before finding the net with a long-distance strike. It was his first, arguably less eye-catching, goal that impressed Keane. "I love this first goal, we're talking about making runs in the box right at the end, a bit like Paul Scholes used to do. Sometimes it's about standing still and that's football intelligence," he told ITV. "He's 20 years of age. Excellent performance. He made a mistake a couple of months ago. He'll be delighted with that. He's a great prospect."
