Pep Guardiola gave Phil Foden an on-field coaching session after Manchester City’s win
The Etihad boss could be seen pointing directions and instructions to Foden
The incident happened after Watford was defeated 2-1.
The Premier League winners were given a scare when Tom Ince scored a late consolation goal, but they managed to hold on to win.
Guardiola and Foden engaged in a heated discussion following the final whistle. Foden was assigned to lead the line for City.
The Etihad manager was spotted placing his arm around the England international and giving him instructions and directives.
The Spaniard has previously done this; before halftime at Burnley last season, he yelled at Erling Haaland.

Midfielder Rodri suffered a serious knee injury in the 2-2 draw with Arsenal, which presents a major problem for City.
Guardiola would have to find a replacement, which might mean he doesn’t return to action until the current season is over.
Nunes was granted an opportunity to participate in the encounter against Watford, but his 13 months after leaving Wolves for £53 million were dismal.
Additionally, Guardiola remarked of Nunes after he scored: “He has special qualities few players have, unique.”
“He’s amazing, with space in transition. For him and the aim, I’m happy. He still has reading material, and adjustment is difficult.
I’m very happy for him because nice guys always deserve good things. He’s a lovely man.
