MANCHESTER CITY legend Sergio Aguero believes Manchester United are among the "biggest threats" to his former club's Premier League title bid.
City are fourth in the Prem table with five points separating them from leaders Arsenal and four away from Liverpool and Aston Villa, who are second and third respectively.
This comes after a poor run that has seen the Treble winners falling off the pace with only one win in their last six league matches.
However, Aguero is not giving up on the Citizens and still considers them favourites to win their fourth consecutive title.
The legendary striker also doesn't expect in-form Arsenal or Liverpool to overtake the Manchester giants.
In fact, the Argentina great believes United, Newcastle and Tottenham pose as a much bigger threat.
