Sergio Aguero has claimed that Manchester United remain contenders in this season’s Premier League title race.

The Argentinian spent a decade on the blue side of Manchester and famously denied City’s noisy neighbours a title win with his iconic last-minute goal against QPR in 2012.

However, despite United’s faltering form thus far, Aguero insisted Erik ten Hag’s side could yet make a run for top spot.

‘You can never sleep on Man United at this stage of the season. They are one of the biggest threats to Man City’s Premier League title.’ Aguero told Stake.com

After a strong November that saw Ten Hag win his third Premier League Manager of the Month award, United have struggled this month with just one league win from four leaving them 11 points behind league leaders Arsenal.

Despite the Gunners again enjoying a flying start to the campaign after coming within inches of a first title win in two decades last season, Aguero instead named their north London rivals as contenders to his former side’s crown.

‘I also think Tottenham are title contenders, who have improved a lot under Ange Postecoglou.’ He said.

‘Even despite their ups and downs, Newcastle are also in with a chance of the title as they always put up a fight.’

After five league titles and more than 250 goals in all competitions Aguero departed City in 2021 at the end of his contract to join Barcelona.

The striker’s time in Catalonia would ultimately prove to be short-lived however, and less than six months after joining the Nou Camp club he would retire from football on the advice of his doctors.
