Manchester City have been good this season but not necessarily at their best with some poor results which has seen them lose pace with leaders Liverpool. However, Pep Guardiola has a growing problem in the attack which has been on for the past three seasons.
Sergio Aguero’s place on the list as the greatest striker to play for Manchester City is without doubt as he holds the all-time scoring record at the club. However, the forward would add more history to his stay at the club if he can lead the team past a trying week.
Injuries to the primary midfielder have left the manager of the team with a selection problem before the midweek European clash. Pep Guardiola, the Manchester City manager has claimed that he has 15 available senior players for the Champions League game against Hoffenheim after Frenandinho and David Silva were injured.

Aguero scored twice, but after the match the whole discussion remained centered on the topic, whether the player had any future at the club.

“Media is aware of my opinion. By that point, his turn meant everyone did and perhaps, had Jesus not succumbed the knee injury that let Sergio Aguero back into the side; the team of Argentina would have left.
