Aguero stokes fire ahead of derby

Footballers are often faced with tough questions when it comes to picking players for their ultimate XIs, with the repercussions of leaving out a close friend often leading to safe answers. But ahead of the Manchester derby this week, City striker Sergio Aguero felt no pressure to pay any hollow platitudes to his nearest rivals and instead opted to stoke the fire.

City head into the clash one point and one place above fifth-placed Manchester United.

Aguero, who was promoting a new unique pair of Puma boots he shall be wearing in the game, is asked: “Name one current Manchester United player you would have at Manchester City?” The Argentine responds in Spanish: “I would prefer that it was no-one!”
