JADON SANCHO and Phil Foden have history.
When playing as teenagers for Manchester City, Sancho refused to shake hands with Foden as he was substituted – leaving a shocked Foden staring back at him in bewilderment.

As an irritated Sancho slumps down on the bench
A video posted to Twitter shows a young Sancho being replaced in a UEFA Youth League game against Atletico Madrid – with Foden coming on as a substitute.
But instead of giving his team-mate the obligatory handshake, he snubbed his fellow Man City academy member.
Foden looked stunned by the incident.
Since then, both have 2 different paths
Sancho and Foden are now close friends off the field; they are frequently seen grinning and having fun together when Foden is representing England.
Despite having taken completely different career paths, at the young age of 21, they are both well-established Three Lions internationals.
Even though Sancho’s future at Manchester United is currently uncertain, Foden is currently arguably Pep Guardiola’s first choice on the team sheet.
