Man City striker Aguero gunning for Man Utd ace Rooney in Golden Boot battle

Manchester City ace Sergio Aguero is aiming to gun down Manchester United's Wayne Rooney in their battle for the Golden Boot.

Aguero, the £35million man from Atletico Madrid, already has one over Rooney - the Argentinian has a stunning £1.25m deal with Puma compared to the England man's reported £1m Nike contract.

He will also pick up a substantial bonus for topping the goalscoring charts in the Premier League, the Champions League and for scoring for Argentina - so he is in no mood for a dry run in front of goal.

Aguero, 23, said: "It will be a beautiful duel with Rooney until the very last match.

"I'm looking for a goal in every game.

"People tell me about the importance of our rivalry - and City's with United.

"This is not a rare situation for me. I had a similar experience in Spain against Real Madrid - without too much luck, I might say.

"So now I'm looking for a different outcome. I'm in good form at the moment but I believe my game can reach an even higher level.

"And I also think City are already demonstrating that we can win the title."
