Phil Foden Sacks Social Media Company After Tweet About Kylian Mbappe Backfires

In a social media post on Phil Foden’s Twitter account, Foden tagged Kylian Mbappe’s account before saying: “Are you ready” – a caption that received thousands of retweets and likes in a short space of time, although it appears he and his representatives weren’t happy with the tone of the tweet.
