PHIL FODEN has issued a three-word response after Manchester United fans sang sick chants about his mum.
The 24-year-old was subjected to vile chants about his mum during Manchester City’s 0-0 draw at Old Trafford.
Man City boss Pep Guardiola berated those involved for the “shameful” language at full-time, saying: “Lack of class. But it’s not United, it’s the people, you know?
“We are so exposed, people who are on the screen in world football – managers, owners, and football players especially.
“Honestly, I don’t understand the mind of the people involving the mum of Phil.
“It’s a lack of integrity, class, and they should be ashamed.”

After the derby, Guardiola admitted he has been stunned by Man City’s decline this season.
The Spaniard said: “This season we dropped incredibly. Not just Phil Foden but all of them.
“Last season, his impact was incredible. With him and chances it’s normally bang, bang. Just not at the moment.
“But the team is not playing at the level we had. And we were not at our level in this game.”
After Sunday’s match, footage of the moment Foden was targeted by United supporters emerged on social media.
In the clip, filmed from the stands, the midfielder can be seen sarcastically clapping and giving a thumbs up to the home supporters.
