Phil Foden's all-time Premier League XI includes a current Liverpool superstar and TWO Manchester United legends.

Foden named six past and present Man City players in his star-studded side.

Three of them make up the backline including current stars Ederson and Kyle Walker not to mention Vincent Kompany, who won four league titles during his career at the Etihad.

On Walker, Foden told The Daily Mail: "I'm serious though, I don't see another right back."

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and ex-Arsenal and Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole complete the back four.

Foden has battled with Van Dijk over the years as Man City and Liverpool duel for the league title - including this season with both teams in the thick of the title race.

Cole is regarded as the best left-back in Premier League history following his illustrious spells at Arsenal and Chelsea.

Another past Man City player in David Silva also makes his XI, sitting alongside Arsenal great Patrick Vieira, who finished his playing days at Man City.

"I feel like [Silva] needs that protection, so it's a good balance," he explained.

Man United legend Cristiano Ronaldo and Gunners icon Thierry Henry occupy each flank.

There's no room for teammate Kevin De Bruyne but the England international insists he has 'never seen anything like' the star midfielder on the pitch.

Up top, Foden opted for another Man United legend in Wayne Rooney and former Man City forward Sergio Aguero, who scored a club-record 260 goals during his time with the Blues.

Rooney, who scored a combined 208 Premier League goals from his spells at Everton and Man United, won five league titles whilst plying his trade at Old Trafford and scored one of his greatest goals against Man City.

Phil Foden's all-time Premier League XI: Ederson; Kyle Walker, Vincent Kompany, Virgil van Dijk, Ashley Cole; Cristiano Ronaldo, Patrick Vieira, David Silva, Thierry Henry; Wayne Rooney, Sergio Aguero.
