3. Manchester United must keep Aguero from getting the ball.

Sergio Aguero is among the most lethal strikers in the world, and Mourinho must dedicate a defender to locking down the Argentinian.

Aguero can score goals from anywhere on top of the box, given he is one of the top scorers in the league. Also, when looking at the Premier League table, City have scored 67 more goals than they have conceded. Evidently, Manchester City do not lack firepower in their offense.

Manchester United cannot underestimate the abilities of Aguero because he is known to give defenders and goalkeepers problems.
