Phil Foden during a McDonald’s Fun Football Session (Mark Robinson/Handout)“It’s a process I had to believe in and I knew, at the right time when I was performing at the best I could, he would give me the opportunities. “I’m forever grateful for the opportunities he gave me and I’m just happy with where I am now.”Foden is a McDonald’s Fun Football ambassador and believes the scheme offers important opportunities for youngsters who did not have the same access to football as he had. “You don’t see as many kids playing football on the streets like when I was younger,” he said.
