Aguero: We're worried about Chelsea and Man United, but Pellegrini is the man to bring the Premier League back

Know your enemies: Sergio Aguero believes Man United and Chelsea are the main title contenders
Sergio Aguero believes Manchester United and Chelsea are the two main contenders to Manchester City’s desires of regaining the Barclays Premier League title they surrendered to their rivals in May.

The 25-year-old, who famously clinched City's first league crown in 44 years two seasons ago, also has his eyes on the golden boot.

And the Argentine praised the way in which new manager Manuel Pellegrini has reinvigorated the squad since his arrival in June.

'Man United will be desperate to retain it under their new manager and their squad is impressive,' Aguero told Match of the Day magazine.

'Chelsea will also be dangerous, and you know Jose Mourinho will bring out the best in them. But we have a new manager too and I think the other teams will be looking at us as potential champions this season.'
The Chilean hasn't enjoyed the most inspiring start at the Etihad Stadium. City lost away at Cardiff before struggling to beat Hull City.

That doesn't bother Aguero - who has led the line in each of City's opening three games - too much though. The striker believes the spirit in the camp is better than last season.

A series of in-fights and public criticism of players by Roberto Mancini - not to mention training ground bust-ups - undermined their title defence.

There will be no such problems this time around.

'Every manager is different, but the whole squad has really been enjoying his training sessions and he’s made time to speak to every player,' Aguero added.

'It’s not just Manuel Pellegrini’s arrival, the new signings have bonded really well.

'I hope to score a lot of goals this season to win back the Premier League. Obviously my job is to score and create goals, but the team result is the most important things so I’m happy as long as we’re winning games.'
