Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola expressed his disappointment, stating that those who made the chants about Foden and his mother, Claire Rowlands, should be “ashamed”.

Guardiola commented, “It shows a lack of class. It`s not about Manchester United as a club, but about some individuals.”

He continued, “People in football, like managers, owners, and especially players, are very visible. I can`t understand why anyone would target Phil`s mum.”

Guardiola added, “It`s a matter of integrity and class, and those responsible should feel ashamed.”

Social media footage captures the moment fans directed these chants at Foden.

The video shows the England player clapping and giving a thumbs up in a sarcastic manner towards the fans.

After the game, Foden responded to the abuse on Instagram, writing: “We keep going.”

Manchester United fans also chanted at Guardiola as he walked towards the tunnel, calling him a “cheating b*******”. Guardiola responded by waving at them.
