Foden’s 4-year-old son Ronnie has 1.5 million followers on Instagram

Ronnie Foden, son of Phil, the Manchester City champion, at the age of 4 already a celebrity on social media: with an Instagram profile in just 24 hours he exceeded one and a half million followers, and with just two posts. Why? why considered a mascot of Manchester City after appearing in the photos of the celebrations for the victory of the Champions League (1-0 at Inter in Istanbul, last June 10th). Nicknamed by fans The Dude, an affectionate Tipo, or El Wey, more or less a synonym, Ronnie posted, or they published since the account managed by his parents, only two shots: one on dad’s shoulders at the entrance to the Ataturk Stadium locker rooms and another with Kun Aguero.

That was enough because baby Foden went viral and acclaimed by fans, especially since this year he appeared in several photos with all the trophies won by dad Phil’s City, 23 years old. But also in various shots and social videos of teammates, such as that of Rico Lewis while he is dancing in his car or in one, shared by City fans, in which she calls out to Haaland as he lifts the Champions League and, because of his long hair, yells at him I thought you were a girl.
In any case, under all of Phil’s recent posts you can only read fans invoking El Wey, hence the decision to open a dedicated profile for him.
