Guardiola demanding more from Aguero

Swansea made eight changes for the League Cup game against City, with Guidolin having to decide how many of those players to retain as he seeks a significant improvement on last weekend’s poor display in a 1-0 defeat at Southampton.

Manchester United will have a ideal opportunity to redeem themselves against neighbors Manchester City when the sides clash in the fourth round of the League Cup, captain Wayne Rooney has said.

“I think that Manchester City they are playing similar football to what they played in the past”, he said. Defensively, he was so strong – he played really good.

It will be a big game for Sergio Aguero who returns after serving three match suspension due to elbowing Winston Reid.

“We were a bit sloppy but I think overall we controlled the game – he added – We didn’t start well – the first half wasn’t good enough and then we started to play a bit better in the second half”.

“[I want him] to be involved in our game, in our process, and keep the ball, and help us”.

It will be the second time the rivals have met at Old Trafford in two months, following City’s 2-1 win on September 10, and the first time they have met in the EFL Cup since United’s 4-3 aggregate win in the semi-final in 2010.

To illustrate Sterling’s point, Guardiola was quick afterwards to qualify his evident delight by saying that he expects more – even from star striker Sergio Aguero, who had just scored twice to make it a sixth successive league win.

Seluk says Guardiola has no right to tell him what he can and cannot say.

Michael van der Hoorn was adjudged to have challenged De Bruyne unfairly, and Aguero wrong-footed the goalkeeper with a cheeky penalty. Unfortunately for Gael, the brilliant form of Kolarov is making it very hard for him to reclaim his place in the starting XI, and so the Serbian is expected to come back into the side on Saturday, as is Bacary Sagna. “I think a cup game against City at Old Trafford is the ideal draw for us”.

City had a great start to the game, dominating possession, moving well in attack and finding spaces in the Swans’ defense to create chances.

“The most important thing with Kelechi is his sense of the goal in the box”, he said. “Now, we have gone to the hotel, stayed together, have a good dinner and time in the spa with the water”.
