Lescott: Man City having Aguero on bench will frighten Man Utd

Former Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott says Manchester United will be concerned seeing Sergio Aguero on the bench for tomorrow's derby.

The Argentine has nine goals in the derby, putting him joint third on the all-time list for goals in this fixture.

And his former City team-mate Lescott told The Sun: “He'll definitely be keen to play a part.

"He's one of the top derby goalscorers — him and Wayne Rooney.

"And if you see him on the bench, the teamsheet, it'll be in the back of your mind — knowing he can come on.

“He enjoys scoring and he'd want to come and do just that.

“If it's 2-0 and it's comfortable and he comes on, he still wants a goal.

"So United are going to have to be at it and aware."
