Aguero Tips Manchester United To Be Their Biggest Treat In The Defense of Their EPL Tittle This Season.

Kun Aguero believes Manchester United will re-emerge as genuine contenders for the Premier League title this season under new boss Louis Van Gaal,

United endured their worst ever Premier League campaign under David Moyes last term while bitter rivals Manchester City held off Liverpool and Chelsea to claim their second triumph in the last three seasons.

But Aguero has warned his team-mates that, with Van Gaal now at the helm and no European football to distract them, United will carry a serious threat once again.

"This year I think Manchester United will be up there challenging us," he insisted at the club's City Live event on Thursday.

"Then you have teams like Chelsea and Arsenal who, as always, will be there or thereabouts battling with us for the league.

"But the team I think who is most worthy of having the best chance to threaten is United, because they are not involved in any other competitions other than the English knock-out cups and the league.

"That means they'll get more rest between games than ourselves and some of the other teams and that will work in their favour, like it did last season with Liverpool.

"It's amazing to be here playing and to beat the number one, I'm more than happy," said the 32-year-old.

"I'm playing aggressive this week, the only chance to win a match like this is if you to play your best. I had to go for it, I did well."
