Phil Foden’s Mother Lists £3M Mansion for Sale After Man Utd Fans’ Vile Chants

Phil Foden’s Mother Lists £3M Home After Abusive Chants from Manchester United Fans

Phil Foden’s mother, Claire Rowlands, has decided to sell her £3 million mansion in Prestbury, Cheshire, weeks after being targeted by vile chants from Manchester United supporters during a match at Old Trafford.

Abuse During Manchester Derby
During Manchester City’s 0-0 draw against United on April 12, 2025, sections of the home crowd directed shocking chants at Rowlands, labeling her a “s**g” as Foden was substituted. The England midfielder responded sarcastically, clapping at fans before exiting the pitch. City manager Pep Guardiola later condemned the chants as “shameful.”

Luxury Home Now for Sale
The six-bedroom property, purchased by Foden in 2021 for his mother, features a swimming pool, cinema, gym, and golf simulator. It has been listed for over £3 million. Rowlands, 45, lived there with Foden’s father until the footballer moved to a nearby home with fiancée Rebecca Cooke and their three children.

Neighbor Disputes
The house has been a source of local contention. In 2024, Rowlands sparked complaints after hosting a “deafening” two-hour fireworks display. Neighbors compared it to “Sydney Harbour Bridge or Disneyland,” claiming it distressed pets and children. One resident called it a “party house,” citing frequent noise issues.

Rowlands’ Troubles and Family Loyalty
Rowlands has faced scrutiny in the past. She once admitted to police she acted “like an animal” when drunk during a disorderly conduct incident and was involved in a brawl at a boxing match while defending Foden. Despite this, locals in Stockport—where Foden grew up—praised her devotion to her family.

Guardiola’s Support
Following the abuse, Guardiola emphasized the need to “respect opponents,” calling the chants unacceptable. Foden, meanwhile, has risen above the incident, focusing on his career and young family.

Moving Forward
The decision to sell the mansion marks a fresh start for Rowlands, who remains a steadfast figure in Foden’s life. As the property hits the market, the footballer continues to shine on the pitch, undeterred by off-field controversies.
