Former Manchester City winger Steve McManaman believes that Kalvin Phillips needs to leave the Etihad in order to keep his place in the England line-up.
Phillips joined City from Leeds in 2022 but has struggled to get regular minutes under manager Pep Guardiola.
Phillips still features for Gareth Southgate but with the 2024 Euros on the horizon, McManaman believes that the 27-year-old midfielder needs to look elsewhere in order to secure his place with his national team.
He told Betfred: “You have to play for your club if you’re going to play for your country.
"If Manchester City get three injuries, Kalvin gets in the team and plays continuously between now and the end of the season, then of course he can start for England at Euro 2024, but he needs to guarantee game time for himself.
“If Pep Guardiola is playing Rico Lewis, who’s a right-back, in the centre of midfield instead of Kalvin, then unfortunately that speaks for itself.
"He has to get out, he has to play football, he has to impress and he has to show everyone what an amazing footballer he is. If he can do that, then he could be in England’s starting eleven at Euro 2024.”
