Sergio Aguero selects two teams that will push Manchester City for the Premier League title next season.

Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero believes Manchester United and Arsenal will fight City for the Premier League championship next season.

Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero believes Manchester United and Arsenal will challenge them for the Premier League title next season.

Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City have won their fifth Premier League title in six seasons. The Blues raced down and overcame Arsenal as the Gunners collapsed in the final stages, allowing City to retain their title.

After spending much of the season at the top and looking on course for their first Premier League title since the Invincibles of 2004, City finished the season five points ahead of Mikel Arteta’s team. City, on the other hand, overtook the Gunners to guarantee that did not happen.

Before leaving City in 2021, Aguero won the Premier League five times with the club. He later joined Barcelona but left after a short time due to medical advice.

Looking ahead to the 2023/24 season, Aguero feels City will be a strong contender for the title again. However, he believes that second-placed Arsenal and a resurgent United, who finished third in Erik ten Hag’s first season in charge, would pose the most difficult challenges to his old team in their quest for a sixth crown in seven years.

“City will continue to be a candidate next season,” Aguero said in a post for Stake. It has been demonstrated that it is the best side in the Premier League, with a highly distinct style of play, and has won three straight titles, a tough feat.

“Why not think then that you can get another? Surely, as he does every season, Pep will continue to make the adjustments he deems necessary to remain competitive. But this is the Premier League and it is football, there will be several teams that try to dethrone them.

“I think that Arsenal has established a very important base of young players with a long way to go. Mikel Arteta will try to reinforce his lines and will be one of the rivals to beat next season.

“We must not forget about Manchester United either, who have returned to their competitive spirit and will be one of those who most want to defeat City.”
