Manchester United's record goalscorer Wayne Rooney thinks a tactical shift from Guardiola is the reason for Foden's lack of minutes. Rooney says City are not playing so much "side-to-side, through lines and keeping the ball for long periods". They're a bit more dynamic than Foden," explained Rooney. City signed Semenyo from Bournemouth in January for £64m and the winger has played every Premier League minute but three since his arrival. He could be carrying a knock or a particular injury that they have to protect and he can't get to the level in training," ex-City midfielder Michael Brown told The Wayne Rooney Show.
