Manchester City’s Phil Foden and Bunny Shaw Win PFA Players of the Year Awards

Manchester City’s Phil Foden has been named the 2024 Professional Football Association (PFA) Player’s Player of the Year, following in the footsteps of his teammate Erling Haaland who won the award last year. This prestigious award is voted on by fellow professionals, making it a testament to Foden’s exceptional skills on the field.

Foden, 24, has had an incredible season, helping Manchester City secure their fourth successive Premier League title. He has become the fourth City player in five years to receive this honor, with Kevin De Bruyne winning the award in 2020 and 2021.

The England forward received the Player’s Player of the Year trophy at the PFA’s Awards dinner in Manchester on Tuesday. This award comes just three months after Foden won the FWA Footballer of the Year award.
