Sergio Aguero believes Manchester United is one of the ‘greatest challenges’ to Manchester City’s Premier League crown this season, despite the fact that Erik ten Hag’s side is 11 points behind leaders Arsenal

Sergio Aguero claims Manchester United are still contenders for the Premier League title this season.

The Argentine spent a decade on the blue side of Manchester and famously denied City’s raucous neighbors a title win in 2012 with his historic last-minute goal against QPR.

Despite United’s poor start, Aguero believes Erik ten Hag’s team can still challenge for first place.

‘At this point in the season, you should never underestimate Manchester United. They are one of the most serious challenges to Man City’s Premier League crown.’ According to Aguero, Stake.com

Following a great November in which Ten Hag was named Premier League Manager of the Month for the third time, United have struggled this month, with only one league win from four games, leaving them 11 points behind league leaders Arsenal.
