Social media was awash with shock and sadness on Thursday afternoon after a viral post claimed that Manchester City star Phil Foden’s young daughter, identified in the rumor as “True,” had tragically passed away at the age of four. The message, shared widely within minutes, carried emotional language suggesting that Foden was “in pain” and grieving an unimaginable loss.
However, checks against credible news outlets, official club channels, and Foden’s own social media accounts confirm that no such tragedy has occurred. The claim appears to be entirely false, with no evidence to support it. Manchester City, renowned for issuing immediate statements in moments of crisis, has not released any announcement regarding the health or wellbeing of Foden’s family.
Misinformation of this nature is not new in the football world. Viral hoaxes often exploit players’ popularity and fans’ emotions to gain traction online. While some dismiss such stories quickly, others are left distressed, believing the false reports.
Supporters are urged to remain cautious and verify stories through trusted news sources before sharing them further. Phil Foden remains focused on his football and family, and there is no truth to the heartbreaking claims currently circulating.
